pumpkin propoganda

turns out that stuff about not being able to make pie out of decorative pumpkins cuz they aren't the right kind is total nonsense. sure they're a little tougher and not as sweet, but the pie still tastes good! maybe use a bit more sugar if you want a REALLY sweet one but damn. the way recipes talked i thought it wasn't going to even be palatable.
FA+





Also, I really don't remember to talk to people half the time and then think it isn't worth it as they won't remember me or wanna talk, so... sorry about that, hun.
but yeah we made a pumpkin pie from scratch out of a regular big-ass pumpkin someone gave away after use as a decoration. it was of course more on the savory/squash-like side than fruity or sweet, but like, a pumpkin pie is really more milk and sugar and eggs than pumpkin to begin with, it turns out, and just being a little less sweet certainly didn't ruin it entirely. it reminds me of a good bread pudding. like i'd still RECOMMEND a sugar pumpkin if you want a really tasty sweet pie, but if you have plain pumpkins, you can still use them for a pie instead of throwing them out.
Yeah honestly me too. lol
