A Fall Day

A chilly, rainy, fabulous fall day here in Oregon.

Movies were watched.

Muffins were baked.

More chicken stock was boiled and preserved.

My winter herb garden was planted.

And I harvested a few Pie Pumpkins to start my year's supply of pumpkin purée.

Which by the way- home made pumpkin purée is so so much better than canned. And so easy!

Just cut the pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds and guts, throw in the oven @350 for around an hour (flesh face down).

Let it cool a bit.

Pull the skin from the flesh (this is sounding a little creepy...but rest assure I'm still talking about a pumpkin).

And mush mush mush!

Pumpkin Purée!

Always had a love affair with fall- the obsession continues.
