just a heads up - canned pumpkin shortage this year
Comments

I've been unimpressed with the flavor intensity this year. All the pumpkin pies I have had have been bland.They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin

This is kinda OT but kinda not:
Walked into my local grocer a couple weeks ago, they had jack-o-lantern pumpkins outside, 4 for a dollar!
I asked a clerk inside about that, and she thanked me. Last week I noticed that a (very small) felt-tip addition was made: "4 (lbs) for a dollar!"
Now I'm laughing at them! Give me 8 lbs of jack-o-lantern! Oh, and why not just say "$0.25 a pound"????

I live in Morton and let me tell you what, it smells awful in the town right now. You have no idea what kind of smells rotten pumpkin and pumpkin sewage will do to a person. Imagine the smells of the NYC subway if it were in the middle of the Dubai dessert wafting through your town for 2.5 months a year. Not cool!Large and Small BGECentral, IL

THANKSGIVING PUMPKIN DESSERT
Ever since I first tasted this 6 years ago I have never reverted to baking a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving! My family DEMANDS this! RRP - Dunlap, IL
CRUST:
1 cup flour
1 stick butter
½ cup chopped pecans
2ND LAYER:
1 8oz pkg softened Philly cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
3rd LAYER
1.5 cup pumpkin pie filling
2 tea ground cinnamon
2 boxes Vanilla Instant Pudding
1.5 cup milk (if 1% then use 1.25 of 1% plus .25 of H&H)
4th LAYER
Cool Whip – about 4 oz needed
CRUST: Soften butter in M/W for 15 sec @ 70% and mix with flour and pecans. Pat mixture into 1 9x13 pan or 2 8 x 8 disposable pans. Bake at 325 for 10 minutes. Let cool
2nd LAYER: *
Soften cream cheese in M/W for 15 sec @ 70%. Mix ingredients together well and spread evenly over the cooled crust. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
* actually this is a REAL bear to do, but over the years I have learned it is well worth the time to do it this way…use a spoon and a spatula at the same time and drop on “dots” of this mixture on that crust as the crust is tender and will break up. Keep adding the dots and then gently connect the dots and spread them into a a uniform layer.
3rd LAYER: Mix ingredients together well and spread over 2nd layer.
4th LAYER: Cover entire dessert with Cool Whip
Once chilled it keeps quite well! ENJOY!!!
Note: This is far more time consuming to prepare than it may appear so best to make it on Wednesday. Once chilled it keeps quite well.

It may already be too late. Maybe the Canucks have already cornered the market on canned pumpkin since their Thanksgiving is this month?Flint, Michigan

Hey Ron,
Didn't you swear when this forum was started that there was no way you would ever be caught dead posting here? I pretty much remember it that way.
Nice to see you've come to the aid of the fine folks on this side.

bad news anyway people
your canned 'pumpkin' is usually squash anyway.
i know, i know. you can tell the difference. it's not the same, etc. etc.
i'm betting fishless uses "one pie" pie filling, a New England icon. i htink they do use sugar pumpkin.
but nationally, the stuff coming out of Peoria via Libby's, is a type of squash, not sugar pumpkin

Fidel... your words are hurtful and spiteful and do not recognize the fact that the old forum (which you apparently hold so dear) is effectively dead. you were the reason it was killed off. you, stike, zipperlip, and especially miniatureStephen (who I think posts here under a shorter name) were what caused BGE to shut that place down and build a new forum, where peace and harmony reign. and where never is heard a discouraging word or profanity, or religion, politics, etc.
i for one am glad they have this new place. the old forum had nothing but drunken arguing in the evening and on the weekends.

I noticed that the Kroger in Washington was out of it this past weekend. A lady asked an employee to look for some in back, but she said she already had looked for someone else and they were completely out. Seems a little early in the season to be out.

@RRP , has the canned pumpkin market cornered. He's driving up hype in order to make bank when he sells into the hysteria he's created!
