 RH>>> Maybe enough to feed all of Wake County too--can or freeze the
 RH>>> pumpkin and give it to schools, senior feeding sites, etc to use

 NB>>> Then you'd probably run into Health Department regs...
 RH>> Do it at the fairgrounds in one (or more) of their certified kitchens.
 NB>> That might work...

 RH> That's still a lot of pumpkin to process!

For sure!  :)
 
 NB>>>> slices from the loaf... ;)
 RH>>> Get out the micrometer!  The scale, too, while you're at it. (G)
 NB>>> Muffins are never quite that precise, either, you know...  ;)
 RH>> I know, but my parents always thought we kids fussed over "his is
 RH>> bigger than mine" sort of thing all the time.
 NB>> That's part of growing up.  ;)  Whenever we had to divide something,
 NB>> one divided, the other got first choice...  you'd better believe that
 NB>> the portions were divided so equally that choice was difficult... (G)
 NB>> Unless, of course, the one dividing really didn't care that much... ;)

 RH> My parents did that with us too. We did it with our girls--said that

 RH> "chew" so the first time David (Rachel's husband) heard them do that

Family pronunciations can be a trip, sometimes... ;)
 
 RH>> Mom says that's why she never made meat balls with spaghetti but I

 NB>> Like it being too much work, maybe...?   ;)  We just browned the

 RH> I think that was the real reason she never made meat balls.
 
 NB>> hamburger meat and tossed it in with the spaghetti and the sauce,
 NB>> mixed them all together...  :)  I know, probably not very authentic,
 NB>> but we weren't worrying about authentic...  :)

 RH> My mom browned the meat and then added other things to make a sauce.
 RH> When we first got married, I told Steve I'd make his mom's sauce and
 RH> meat balls & my mom's meat sauce, then we could decide which we liked

Some things work better for take-off dishes than for the original
purpose... clearly Steve's mom's sauce won that round hands down..  :)

 RH>> Tho we did use Cool Whip for the 7 layer dessert we made for
 RH>> Life Group.
 NB>> That's rather borderline...  ;)

 RH> We maybe could have made real whipped cream but had a busy enough day
 RH> as was; the Cool Whip was easier to deal with at that point. Steve
 RH> looked at Dream Whip and other alternatives, decided Cool Whip was as
 RH> good a choice as any.

Given the choices, I'd agree...  :)
