One of those things

Not sure why I decided that I needed to actually cook a full pumpkin rather than just get the puree stuff out of the can.  For some reason I couldn't resist the organic sugar pie pumpkin on sale at the store the other day.  What I will actually cook with it I am not sure.  You may wonder why I am doing this now - more than a week before Thanksgiving when a pumpkin pie would be an appropriate thing to make.  I don't like to make new things and serve it to others.  I always need a test run. And if what I make turns out well, and I want to make it again I will have to factor in if cooking the pumpkin vs using the canned stuff is crucial to the final product. I know my husband is wondering why I am wasting time doing this, especially when he is busy doing useful things like fixing a leaking faucet. To my credit I also was cooking dinner. Now I need to search for a recipe.....
