Message: [QUOTE="Bigboote, post: 2956518, member: 7631"] I'm not much of a dessert guy. My wife and daughter love it all. But one thing I love making is pumpkin pie made from a pumpkin I cooked myself. It's so much lighter than what you make with the stuff out of a can. I also have a pumpkin bread recipe I make from the same. Even the bread is almost like custard, just an absolute delight. I'm also a fan of beauty in simplicity. Shortbread: flour, butter, sugar, and a dash of salt. Maybe a 1/4 tsp of baking soda if you want to get fancy. I've made a recipe with an egg yolk, but that doesn't improve it, plus you have ONE egg white left over. I'm not a fan of greens, but never met a ham hock I didn't like (I find greens tolerable cooked with one, but would rather have cabbage, black-eyed peas, red beans, etc. with it. They're tough to find in the burbs. [/QUOTE]
