I told the person I asked about the scale that sometimes (often?) a recipe asks for a specific weight.

Felt like I was on another planet - just so different. Still had a blast and my kids came to trick or treat in Plano (not too shabby :) I had to chuckle because I followed you on some other blog and read your comment that you bought texas cookie cutters. When I was there I managed to buy a texas state shaped waffle iron- no, I am not kidding. It was by one of the good Italian manufacturers and at a gourment store...but WHAT was I thinking :) We got a bunch of snow here and my hubby ran up to Vt- and was then afraid he would be stuck there with 9 inches of snow. I love autumn, pumpkins filled with everything good, and hope to see more of both !!!tricia s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06247980519576579740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850658802486564843.post-54877942367655374702011-10-31T07:18:26.513-04:002011-10-31T07:18:26.513-04:00wow...very catchy..

About cleaning out a pumpkin I guess I was just lucky<br />to talk my way around that one. However, Tricia and I had a pumpkin<br />patch while living in NJ, but I always removed the flowers for frying.<br />An old Italian tradition. I would love to be able to buy them, but it<br />is not something you see often. They are simply delicious.

When we first moved to AZ, from Upstate NY, the holidays seemed so out of place. How can you have snowmen with no snow, and we are still swimming on Halloween. But we are good at it now. I think all the traditional foods really make a difference. Even though this is the best time for gardening in AZ...finally getting some fresh local veges...we learn to think "pumpkin", etc...and it works.Kris' Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15135658114728468080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850658802486564843.post-67963635899150300552011-10-28T11:53:33.722-04:002011-10-28T11:53:33.722-04:00So your post made me homesick, as I'm a displa...So your post made me homesick, as I'm a displaced Texan.
