It’s nice to have fresh dessert after dinner!

It’s not often that we make dessert specifically for after dinner. Sure, we make treats from time to time, but almost never do we think of making something to have ready once dinner is done. This past Sunday was an exception, when we decided to make Thomas Keller’s Blueberry Cobbler.

Scratched Pumpkin Pie

During the fall, or even winter, we sometimes get pumpkins in our CSA share. Some years more than others, but always at least one during the year. They are great, because they store well — just put them in a dark cupboard — and because they taste good, too. And you generally get a lot of pumpkin all at once. Wait, what did I hear you ask, “Do you actually eat the pumpkins?” Of course we do, as in pumpkin pie. Yesterday, we wrote up our test of a Vodka Pie Crust, and, naturally we needed something to put in it. So, read on, and see how we make pumpkin pie, starting with a pumpkin.
