Oh yeah.
I am somewhat annoyed that pumpkin recipes all list "canned pumpkin" as the pumpkin ingredient, though. I mean, hello? You know that orange thing that you carve up for Halloween? It's edible. Well, not it in particular. I mean, it is edible, but it was bred for carving so it isn't very tasty. It does have many cousins that are edible and tasty, though. Mmmm punkin. I saved a few seeds from local pumpkins and will start them early indoors next year. :)

Your sister said she just had some mashed yam and mashed squash or pumpkin a few days ago and they were good. they are good alternative to the original mash potato, although "hos in hiemalahyah it poatetous"
Bobsan read "cinammon" has very high rejuvenating effect.
Mr. Bun ate the better part of a carving one yesterday. (HE thinks they are tasty.) I came home and found that he had knocked it off the table and crawled inside. (He backed out of it and ran away when I opened the door. That was quite a sight!)
I suspect Mrs. Bunzie polished off the lid while he helped himself to the rest.
His stomach made gurgly noises for a while but he seems to be completely fine otherwise.
PS When are you making the cake? Tell us how it turns out. Maybe I will make one for my birthday, too!
Ohhh... really? I would be so worried. I have a friend that keeps cans of pumpkin in her pantry for use as an emergency laxative for her cats. I'm glad to hear it doesn't have the same effect on rabbits...
I am making the cake in two weeks. Your birthday is before mine, so it might turn out the other way around... you'll be telling ME how it turns out!
Baked Pumkin seeds are the bomb. A very tastey snack indeed...
Aw I wish we had canned pumpkin here in South Africa :( Our pumpkins are too runny to make fresh Pumpkin Pie :( Dont you want to send me some cans :P
Tails, can you get butternut squash? I use it as a pumpkin substitute all the time. It's denser and more reliably textured.
Hmm butternut squash as in the squash in the photo here?
I never thought of using that...will it have the same taste? I've made successful pumpkin pies with regular pumpkin which I've pureed myself, but I'm always worried that its going to go wrong...
Yes, that! Your plate there looks delicious, too! It is not quite as sweet as pumpkin, but pumpkins vary so much from one to the next that I don't see how much difference a butternut squash could make! And they are seldom watery and seldom stringy.
Hehe thanks :) I was just sad I didnt have mushrooms in it (grrr mushroom-hating bf!) :P
I think I'm off to make a pumpkin (spelt b u t t e r n u t hahaha) pie! :D
I wound up going the lazy route and bought some pumpkin-related snack cakes from Cosentino's, along with a new pumpkin for the buns. :)
