Yes, it would be.
Some people are blessed by God - my neighbor could put away a pumpkin pie in a day, do it again the next day, and never gain an ounce.
She’s no longer ‘with us’; I like to think that she’s in the land of ‘Pumpkin-Pie-All-The-Time, Pittsburgh-Steelers-Perpetually-on-the-TV’ (her team.)

Yes, that’s the easiest way to roast garlic - plus it fills the home with that wonderful smell. And the garlic becomes as sweet as candy.
I’m watching another Pittsburgh team now. No pie here but I will see if Entenmann’s has any tomorrow.
I’m thinking of quitting my long-time job and smoking large pieces of various animals for a living. It’s what I live to do, anyway.
An old hydrogeologist boyfriend from 15yrs ago went every year to the Northern Rockies and brought down Elk, sawed off all the meat the locals wanted, shipped the mega-meat ribs back home, snacked on those for 6 months. He was on a list to king crab-trap, maybe that’s where he is today.
What’s next week, if you don’t mind my asking?
“I usually stick to pumpkin pie this season - going to use maple syrup as the sweetener this year and pecans on top.”
Now, that sounds good. I’ve never cared for pumpkin, but adding a maple flavor might change it just enough.

Refrigerate until cool.
Authentic amaretti are crispy airy and bittersweet.....w/ mysterious ingredients like apricot kernels....and very pricey. Hard to duplicate.
Here's my solution:
Mound whole almonds, hazelnuts on sheetpan. Pour over vanilla sugar syrup flavored w/ droplet of almond extract. Then roast til caramelized.
Grind to a coarse crunch---sprinkle over layers.
Pumpkin Roulade with Ginger ButtercreamINGREDIENTS
• For the cake:• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour• For the filling:
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup canned pumpkin (not pie filling)
• 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, plus extra for dusting• 12 ounces Italian mascarpone cheeseDIRECTIONS:
• 1 1/4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1/4 cup minced dried crystallized ginger (not in syrup)
• Pinch kosher salt
---Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 13 by 18 by 1-inch sheet pan. Line the pan with parchment paper and grease and flour the paper.---In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt and stir to combine. Place the eggs and granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, until light yellow and thickened. With the mixer on low, add the pumpkin, then slowly add the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Finish mixing the batter by hand with a rubber spatula. Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake the cake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the top springs back when gently touched.
---While the cake is baking, lay out a clean, thin cotton dish towel on a flat surface and sift the entire 1/4 cup of confectioners' sugar evenly over it. (This will prevent the cake from sticking to the towel.) As soon as you remove the cake from the oven, loosen it around the edges and invert it squarely onto the prepared towel. Peel away the parchment paper. With a light touch, roll the warm cake and the towel together (don't press!) starting at the short end of the cake. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
---Meanwhile, make the filling. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the mascarpone, confectioners' sugar, and cream together for about a minute, until light and fluffy. Stir in the crystallized ginger, and salt. ---To assemble, carefully unroll the cake onto a board with the towel underneath. Spread the cake evenly with the filling. Reroll the cake in a spiral using the towel as a guide. Remove the towel and trim the ends to make a neat edge. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve sliced.
Oh my.... I think it is a GOOD thing if your mouth waters at a PICTURE! That is just beyond perfect for me... I am suppose to bring a “unique” dessert for Thanksgiving (unique meaning other folks are doing the oldie but goodie pies etc). I have FOUND my recipe. Hugs to you, SWL!
CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN MOUSSE PIElayers of pumpkin, cheesecake and chocolate on a Biscoff cookie crust
Ingredients
• 1 (8.8-ounce) pkg. Biscoff cookies, crushed (found at Walgreens, WalMart)• DIRECTIONS:
• 5 tablespoons butter, melted
• ½ cup chopped pecans (optional) • 4 egg yolks (well beaten)
• 2 heaping tablespoons flour
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 2 cups milk, divided
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• pinch salt
• 3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• 1½ cups canned pumpkin
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 3 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
• 6 tablespoons water
• 1½ cups cold whipping cream
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1¼ cups powdered sugar
• sweetened whipped cream and chocolate shavings for garnish• To Make Crust: Preheat oven to 325˚F. Butter a 9-inch diameter springform pan with 2¾-inch sides. Mix cookie crumbs, melted butter and nuts in a medium bowl until crumbs are evenly moistened. Press crumb mixture firmly onto bottom and up 1 inch of the sides of the pan. Bake at 325˚F for 15 minutes. Cool completely.• To Make Filling: Make a paste of the egg yolks, flour, sugars and small amount of the milk in a heavy medium saucepan. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat remaining milk 1 minute. Slowly add milk to the egg mixture and, stirring constantly, cook over medium low heat 7-10 minutes or until thickened (mixture will thicken more as it cools). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt.
• Measure out 1 cup of the filling and put into a separate bowl. Add chocolate to the remaining filling and stir to melt. In reserved bowl, add pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. Pour chocolate filling into a medium bowl, then press plastic wrap onto the surface of both of the fillings, to eliminate a skin. Refrigerate about 30 minutes. Soften the gelatin in the water for about 5 minutes in a microwave-safe dish.
• In a medium chilled bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks form. Microwave gelatin until it dissolves and starts to bubble around the edges, around 30 seconds. In a small bowl, cream together cream cheese and powdered sugar. Stir in ⅓ of the dissolved gelatin into each of the 3 filling bowls (about 2½ tablespoons each) and combine well. Fold in ⅓ of the whipped cream into each of the 3 fillings.
• Spread chocolate pudding onto cooled crust. Place in freezer for 10 minutes to become firmer. Layer with the cream cheese filling, then place into the freezer for another 10 minutes. Top with the pumpkin layer.
• Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Garnish with sweetened whipped cream and chocolate shavings before serving.
That looks wonderful! Three excellent things in one pie!
(What are “Biscoff” cookies like?)

Liz, you are probably the best and most ingenious cook here :-)

I used to think I didn’t like pumpkin. Turns out I just don’t like nutmeg. I was glad to find that out, because I love growing squash!
I use cinnamon, brown sugar, pecans, and molasses when making anything sweet with pumpkin. But I also found out that plain cooked pumpkin with butter and a little salt can be a good side dish, just like sweet potatoes.
I’m afraid I don’t have a recipe handy, but I once made a really good butterscotch-pumpkin pie by mixing a box of instant pudding with the pumpkin.
