Open Thread: Pumpkin

Hosted by a pumpkin

So last night I had hot cocoa spiked with pumpkin pie flavored vodka.  This morning I had a pumpkin bagel.  There are the remains of a pumpkin-and-squash soup in the fridge, I'll be picking up pumpkin coffee creamer at the store later today, and after I carve my jack-o-lantern, I'm making roasted pumpkin seeds to snack on.

I love this time of year.

Open thread!  What's your favorite pumpkin- or pumpkin-flavored-food?  If you don't like pumpkin at all, what seasonal flavors do you prefer?  Do you have any cool pumpkin (or other Fall) recipes to share?

Wednesday Reminder!  Open threads are meant to be fun, chatty places to discuss anything that doesn’t “fit” into a deconstruction or other regular thread.  This can be something totally off-the-wall and random, or it can be something interesting that a deconstruction prompted you to think of, but which would be derailing to get into in the deconstruction thread.  When in doubt, move it over here - that’s what it’s for!  

And, like on all threads: please remember to use the "post new comment" feature rather than the "reply" feature, even when directly replying to someone else!
