These things taste like cardboard to me, no matter who cooks them or what they're sprinkled with.<br />Maybe you could grind them up and add them to your Irish car bomb cupcakes and find a palatable solution... though a bite of one of those was enough for me, too. LOL<br />Now, you want something REALLY good from pumpkin, try pumpkin ice cream! *big smile and nodding* And even novice cooks can do this one. Go out and buy the best quality vanilla ice cream you can find (unless he ate it all, KP should still have some in his clean freezer). Let it thaw just a tad. Yes, I know... subjective... but it's part of the cooking game. Basically, a tad means anywhere from 15 minutes to about 1/2 an hour, depending on how warm your kitchen is. You don't want vanilla soup, you want a little harder than soft serve, maybe. Stir in a can of pumpkin pie filling and add whatever spices a good pie recipe calls for. You can put it back in a regular bowl or into your scrapped pumpkin if you want to refreeze. Your original ice cream container will be too small (unless he ate THAT much before you got hold of it)... the pumpkin container, well... sadly if you leave it out on the counter after you've refrozen the ice cream, it will thaw into a mushy mess. So, while attractive at first, maybe not the best option.<br />(and there you have the longest comment I will ever make. You hope.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455561446025671074.post-68113629744753317662010-11-03T15:22:29.545-07:002010-11-03T15:22:29.545-07:00Swedish chef says "Larwdy fardy smorgasborden...Swedish chef says "Larwdy fardy smorgasborden und."Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03035817757902590772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455561446025671074.post-86638135642566226142010-11-01T18:28:28.035-07:002010-11-01T18:28:28.035-07:00You too?

As long as it comes in a bag or a box and has instructions, I'm fine. But otherwise? It will come out burnt, under or over seasoned, or something worse.Syrinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583207776457546102noreply@blogger.com
