Sometimes I think big pumpkins are good, and other times I would prefer to have a few small ones. I guess it depends on how I am feeling that year. I like pies, but not pumpkin pies so much. Sometimes I toast the seeds, but they need a lot of salt. I like salt, but not too much salt. Pepper is good. The spice, not the former poster, although she is nice too.

I love pumpkin pie.

I baked/roasted a butternut squash and an onion last night to make butternut squash soup. I look forward to roasting the butternut squash seeds tonight or tomorrow night. They're nice to sprinkle on the soup.

I am sad I never met Pepper.

Will I like it even if I am completely uninterested in football? Though, when I was in high school, we were in the top 10 in the country. So I do kind of have an interest in high school football, I guess.

I don't have any interest in football and I love the show. It's really not about football.

Excellent! Tonight is looking up. Even if there is no sex.

I made a pumpkin pie from a whole pumpkin last year over Thanksgiving. I think it turned out really well. I may well do it again this year.

I'm thinking that chicken soup may be in my not-so-distant future.

The same kind of pumpkin one uses for carving, or a different kind?

I haven't made the soup yet. I may do curry . . . not sure. Or throw in some apples. Or both! I will be using homemade stock. Mmmm.

There was a pile in the grocery store that said they were pie pumpkins. I ended up with three of them, because I needed several pounds of pumpkin. I think I used the recipe from the Joy of Cooking to make them.

You want to use pie pumpkins or sugar pumpkins. The carving kind are too stringy.

Kewl.

This is like my favorite birthday card, ever. I got it once when I was a kid in the 70s.

I like these Tsubos:



But alas they don't have my size.

Because it is clear to me that the board was just dying to know this, I found my size on the actual Tsubo website (on sale!)* and these are heading my way. I envision wearing them with capri pants and skirts. Not sure whether they'll be at all jeans-appropriate or not. They seem a bit gaudy, but I am up for the challenge.


*No shipping, but they do charge sales tax to California residents (only). I hate being singled out for sales tax on the interwebs.

I agree. Before Game 4 of the previous series would been much more sensible.

And it would have allowed the Red Sox to have the reporter throw out the first pitch of game six.

Isn't the HGH info coming from a different investigation? Some place in florida that's been selling all over the place, including Rodney Harrison. Since it's some sort of federal investigation of illegal prescription sales, one might imagine that the feds aren't sharing that information with Mitchell. Of course, they're instead sharing it with their well placed sources at the Chronic(le).

I like. Very much. Or, so far (just finished the pilot).

I like chile peppers, but not the little ones that are too spicy. I don't think I would like them in pie, though although I had a mango salsa once that had a very hot habanero chile in it. Would mango make a good pie?

Actually, you're not being singled out. California actually charges tax on your purchases from all websites. Companies with bricks-and-mortar in California have to collect the sales tax as part of the purchase. When the company doesn't have bricks-and-mortar in California, you're expected to report the purchase on your 540 and pay "use tax" in an amount equal to the sales tax. And in this respect, California is like every other state in the union that charges its residents sales tax.

So crossing the border to a sales-tax free state doesn't save you anything; it just imposes a reporting burden on you rather than on the vendor. And everyone who's buying things "tax-free" from Amazon? They're just tax cheats, because their state expects them to pay use tax on all their purchases on the interwebs. The only exceptions are residents of states that don't have a sales tax at all, in which case, as we all know, they have some form of compensating revenue, like higher income tax rates.

So be sure to check your credit card receipts for Amazon purchases etc. before signing that 540! Feel consoled yet?

Reporting this news made me extremely unpopular on another board. I expect it will do the same for me here.
