Rooftop Revolving Lounge #3!

@lovendures I want your pumpkin pie. Two slices.  Both for me. Make it three.

@lovendures I’m not keen on pumpkin flavored drinks, but I love everything else pumpkin:  pumpkin chocolate chip cookies; pumpkin squares; spicy pumpkin soup; pumpkin pie; pumpkin cheesecake; even pumpkin enchiladas!

@unk-p Your pumpkin curry dish sounds awesome! (Hold the habanero for me please).

Jeanne, I love making pumpkin pie.  It is a family tradition now.  Sometimes I will make pumpkin chocolate pie too. 

The same place that makes the autumn pumpkin soup makes wonderful chocolate pumpkin muffins.  Trader Joes has great seasonal pumpkin items.  They were bringing the out last time I was in, around 2 weeks ago. 

It is funny, it used to be that fall was apple time, everything was apple related but not nearly to the extent as pumpkins now a days.

even pumpkin enchiladas!

Really?  

I think that sounds good. haha.  I would definitely try pumpkin enchiladas.  

Pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin candles, apple cider for me.

The Chevron commercial was very beautiful and unexpected.

I did a quick scan on Mueller and heard a voice from a soundboard that said, "Ladies and gentle, we got him," before Cenk from The Young Turks said, "Down goes 45!"

@lovendures just when you thought we'd hit Peak Pumpkin Spice, here comes Pumpkin Spice Bronzer: Click here to see an old guy wearing more makeup than the washed-up porn star he is making  googgily eyes at

@unk-p 

Glad I didn't see him first thing this morning.  Ick!

@unk-p You're supposed to warn us before linking to inappropriate content!

Also - remember when I gave you the run down on all the dummies that were running for MI Governor? That's the softcore porn actress.  She's training our current governor by like, 7,000,000,000 points but we're still all making a plan to vote like we're down by 10.

@dannyboy sorry! should have given a Trigger Alert! Too bad he was too cheap to pay for the Pumpkin Spice Donut glaze to go all the way up to the "hair visor" thingy on his forehead

Hi, can’t quite imagine pumpkin flavoured drinks or ice creams etc. Pumpkin isn’t a thing like that here in Oz. Do like pumpkin soup, roast pumpkin, or a pumpkin scone, not too sure about sweet pumpkin items.
Halloween has only recently started to be a thing over the last decade or so mainly because of American films TV shows etc getting kids interested in it and parents trying to make it happen. Naturally supermarkets etc jumped on the bandwagon and you can now get lots of items and lollies galore to hand out. In my village they make an effort with people decorating their houses, if you are going to be involved put out something orange so the kids know they can come to your door. It’s usually only for the younger kids not so much the teenagers. So it’s growing.

Enjoy Autumn as we are heading into Spring and Summer, just hope we won’t be as hot as the Northern Hemisphere was. Will be damp though we are in our third La Niña.

Regards to all, have a piece of pie for me.

The pie pumpkins showed up at the store while my youngest was here visiting. So about 2 weeks ago, I made pumpkin soup. They hadn't had it in some time, and needless to say, I didn't get much of the batch. Not into pumpkin drinks or ice cream, but do like a good pie, soup, or muffin. 

For anyone who likes old movies, and the Halloween spirit, this year Flashback Cinema isn't all slasher type horror movies. They are also playing ET and Abbott & Costello meet Frankenstein! Abbott & Costello on the big screen-count me in. Tho I have to admit that A&C Meet the Mummy or The Time of Their lives are probably a little better. 

Hi,

Your pumpkin stories got me curious so I had a bit of a look and US seems to have different types of pumpkins to us. We have them all year round because they store well, it’s not something we only have in the Autumn (Fall). Is that the same for you? Looking at that pioneer woman site, I have never seen those apart from the Jarrahdale. 

The varieties we have mainly are Kent, Queensland Blue, Jarrahdale, Butternut, Gold Nugget and Dumpling Pumpkins. 

Maybe because we don’t have Thanksgiving or Hallowe’en, Pumpkins aren’t as important to us.

Regards to all

@matildagirl 

I don't know why we don't really grow pumpkins yearner.  Perhaps some farms do? Interesting that you have fresh pumpkin year round.  We do have different types of pumpkin including one that is great for pie making.  I like to take pumpkin seeds (any squash seeds really) and roast them with olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. Sooooo good!  I roasted spaghetti squash last week.

It is definitely a fall food out here.

My day is now complete as I just enjoyed my first Autumn Pumpkin soup of the season.  (I really need to learn how to make some on my own).  

What kind of pumpkin should I grow for pie? I want pie. 

According to this site @jeanne-mayell, there are 11.

@lovendures 

I enjoy pumpkin in bakes and treats of all kinds, including a nice kabocha curry, but I do not like the taste of pumpkin in any beverage. It always tastes chemical-y to me.

I make cran-orange-pumpkin bread for the holidays - delicious with some butter or cream cheese on it for breakfast.

Saw this somewhere today and thought it would be a great thing to share here.

What could you give a 30-minute presentation on with absolutely no preparation?

A few answers off the top of my head:

1. The power of everyday interactions and their ripple effects.

2. The story of unconditional love and the healing power of one goofy dog.

3. All I really needed to know I learned at camp.

4. Rationing for the common family during WW2 in Great Britain and the U.S.  

What 30 minute presentation could you give?

@lovendures Hi, I would be struggling to do a 3 minute presentation on anything.
