Hello,

Well, he passed away this morning. There goes a great fisherman and an even greater friend.

Going to cook some more when I get home.

NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY
Robert Frost

Nature's first green is gold

Her hardest hue to hold

Her early leaf is a flower

But only so an hour

Then leaf subsides to leaf

So Eden sank to grief

So dawn goes down to day

Nothing gold can stay

Here's the pumpkin roll I made yesterday. This is a good one, might be nice for a holiday dinner.

Pumpkin Roll
Cake:
1 Cup cake flour, sifted
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (I make my own with 2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp cloves, 1/2 tsp nutmeg)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
5 large eggs
1 Cup granulated sugar
1 Cup canned pumpkin puree
Confectioners' sugar
Frosting:
8 Tab unsalted butter, softened
2 Cups confectioners' sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened and cut into pieces
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Cake:
1. Heat oven to 350*. Spray an 18"x13" rimmed baking sheet with no-stick, line with parchment paper & spray the paper also
2. Whisk flour, pie spice, baking soda, and salt together; set aside.
3. In mixer bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until pale yellow and thick, 6-10 minutes. Add pumpkin, mix on low speed until incorporated. Fold in flour mixture until combined. Spread batter evenly in prepared sheet.
4. Bake until cake is firm and springs back with touched, about 15 minutes. While cake is warm, run knife around edges to loosen from the sheet. Dust with confectioners sugar and turn out onto a large, clean kitchen towel. Carefully peel off parchment attached to cake and discard. Starting from 1 long side of cake, roll cake along with the towel into a log and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
5. Gently unroll cake and spread with frosting, leaving 1" border around the edges. Reroll cake snugly, leaving towel behind. Wrap cake firmly in parchment and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days. Remove plastic, dust with confectioners' sugar.

Frosting:
1. Using mixer set at medium-high speed, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add cream cheese, 1 piece at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Add vanilla and mix well.

Hope these pictures help show how this comes together:

P.S. These 2 pieces were cut off the ends...the parts from the center show the roll better.

Thank you for the pumpkin roll recipe! It looks fabulous.
Do you think it would work with pumpkin puree from a fresh pie pumpkin?

Do you think it would work with pumpkin puree from a fresh pie pumpkin?

I don't see why fresh pie pumpkin wouldn't work. That might actually be better. The recipe only calls for 1 Cup of puree so I usually end up throwing away what's left in the can.

I did recently find out after cooking a pumpkin for the chickens that my cat, Opie, loves pumpkin. The stinker cried and begged yesterday while I was assembling the cake, wouldn't quit until I gave him a spoonful

The roll went to DH's assistant today. He's been pestering me for months to make him one and I kept putting him off saying he had to wait for fall. After taking care of the chickens for us in September, the only payment he wanted was an entire roll for himself. So he's a very happy guy today! (Of course, to make it look really nice, we had to cut the ends off, just to make it neater )
