Day 89 - Andy Has One Day Left

Friday Andy will be able to buy anything he wants--or at least up to $100. I have promised myself to be warm, loving and supportive and to not grumble too much that one of us is still deprived of retail therapy.

Maybe I'll spend my last shopping-deprived week figuring out what to do with 30+ pumpkins...
So far I've found recipes for pumpkin flour, pumpkin bread, pumpkin soup, pumpkin butter, pumpkin waffles, baked pumpkin, pumpkin muffins, and if Andy hasn't fled in squashed-induced terror by them, we can always freeze pumpkin puree.

Thank heavens it wasn't 2 zucchini plants--I think that would have been grounds for divorce.

Just a suggestion. Have you any gardening friends who might swop a couple of pumpkins for something you would find useful? Perhaps it might be more interesting to ask non-gardening friends.

Pumpkin soup - awesomeness in the fall and winter!

I have had some terrific baked pumpkin at an Afghan restaurant. I think it was spiced with cinnamon and baked like a winter squash generally...

I think Andy needs to dig you a root cellar!
