@BantyChooks tell Kiki about Maynard G. Krebs.

Sorry dear, I'm terribly behind on my TV shows. Don't know him.

Oh, from Gilligan's Island? Now that one I have seen.

 

[Molpet]

Um no.
I am not old like you, I don't know WHO that is.

I know too. Everyone used to say that catch phrase... before it was called that LOL

The same actor played both parts, Maynard and Gilligan.

You think I can use these free pumpkins instead of the canned?View attachment 1587276
I've never bought or cooked these little things before.
They had a box full of them marked free at the grocery store. I so wanted to fill my basket all the way up with them but only took three, plus two of these acorn squash things.View attachment 1587275

Yes you can use those little guys, cut in half, clean out seeds and guts (good chicken treat) then bake in oven on 375 till soft up to skin, once cooled scoop out meat and use in any recipe....The butternuts are also useful cooked the same way or cubbed and tossed with olive oil and roasted, would be an excellent side dish with quail

Pumpkin Stuff from Mom aka Pumpkin harvest dump cake.
Melt
1 3/4 sticks of butter. Don't add it in. This is to pour on the top.

Mix
1 can pumpkin
1 can evaporated milk
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pour into 9x13 pan

Dump on top of this, spread kinda evenly, 1 yellow cake mix - dry, straight from the box.

Drizzle melted butter over cake mix.
Bake 50-60 minutes at 360°
Delicious served warm with cool whip or ice cream. That's Blue Bell, Kiki.

Real easy dump cake and everyone likes it. Us kids would ask for it for Thanksgiving. Made several pans through Christmas until we were full of it. Good stuff, Maynard.

Thanks Nutty!

I have a question that you Americans will think is stupid.

How much is a stick of butter? We don't have sticks here. Just 1 lb blocks.

1/4 lb/ 8 tablespoon/ 1/2 cup/ 4 ounces/ 110g
I didn't know what measurement you needed but all of these are equivalents of one stick of butter.

 

[The Farmers' Daughter]

Perfect! So 1 3/4 sticks of butter would be 7/8 of a cup?
