 RH>>> The other day they showed a picture of one of the huge pumpkins
 RH>>> at the state fair going on the scale; the winner was over 1,000
 RH>>> pounds. Lots of potential pies but I wouldn't want one from a
 RH>>> pumpkin that big.  
 NB>>> I'd expect that it might not be as tasty as one from a smaller
 NB>>> pumpkin...  That's some big pumpkin, though.... ;)  One could
 NB>>> use it to make a monster big pie to break Guiness records,
 NB>>> maybe...  ;)
 RH>> They would need a rather good sized area to set up a pie made from

 NB>> Probably.  :)

 RH> I'd rather have pumpkin bread. (G) 

That would make a lot of pumpkin bread, too...  (G)

 RH> Steve's mom is going to send us a recipe for pumpkin muffins too. I

One or two pans instead of lots of spooning out into muffin tins... :)

 NB>>> What's worse, often it isn't even any better for them, having
 NB>>> other things added in that are worse for them than the items
 NB>>> taken out...  Smaller portions of a wide variety of foods are
 NB>>> much better all around...  ;)
 RH>> Yes, but it's hard to convince the general public of that. They seem

 RH>> pertains to food.
 NB>> Sadly true.  My son will buy a big block of low or no fat cheese, so
 NB>> that he can consume the entire block at once...  rather than getting
 NB>> something that tastes good, and eating it less extravagantly...  :)
 NB>> Makes no sense to me.

 RH> Bleurgh! Knock some sense into that kid!

Not likely to happen... he's a stubborn one...  He's gotten this idea
that fat is bad for you, and the less fat the better...  Maybe some day
the light will go on, and he'll remember that fat isn't the enemy, and
can even be good for you...  and that things taste better when they have
the fat they normally would have... ;)

ttyl          neb

... I'll have two brains on drugs with bacon toast and coffee.
