Pumpkin

There's pumpkin coffee, pumpkin bread,
Pumpkin bagels, pumpkin spread,
Pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pie,
Pumpkin ice cream - my, oh, my!

Pumpkin donuts, pumpkin beer, 
Pumpkin pancakes and, I fear,
Soon there will be, oh my gosh,
Pumpkin soap with which to wash.

Everywhere's that pumpkin scent 
Reminding us what's evident -
Summer's heeded its last call
For pumpkin flavors herald fall.

I love al lrecipies tat use pumpkin! Sadly, most Americans eat it as pie or muffins. The French, however, are more inventive; they use it as a simple vegetable or a delicious mildly spicy soup. In our family it was customary to fill a seeded small pumpkin with a hamburg/pork mix flavored with diced onions and a few herbs and spices. It baked in a bain Marie until well cooked. Delicious. / M P.S. Did you forget pumpkin cheesecake and pumpkin mousse?

I think pumpkins were responsible for that pop song, "Big Belly won't you please come home" as pumpkins do herald a season where plump bellies prepare for winter storms. Aloha! Rico
