Oh the lovely pies I could make for DS, pumpkin pie is his favorite! He will get his homemade pumpkin pie (not store canned pumpkin, real pumpkin), he always does at holiday time, I usually bake a few just for him. He is a bean pole and can eat a whole pie himself.

I can freeze left over cooked pumpkin for up to a year, per Penny1960, may be I will bake him a pumpkin pie for his birthday this year!! That would be a hoot, daughter would love to help with that. She likes to cook and bake. She made cookies the size of a small cake plate for her school choir bake sale last week, (I helped so she could get homework done after play practice til 9pm). But she decided on the size, I think they were some of the first to sell!! LOL Everything is $1 at the school bake sale.

she will do well as a baker in her own home years to come with your guidance.. I never had time for this that I can now but recall doing it with Grandma when I was young
people here have encouraged me to bake allot more and have a great time with it now

That top pumpkin has to weight close to 20 pounds..the thing is HEAVY!
If shipping didn't cost so much I would send you a few.

Pickup a pressure canner while you're at it

We don't have pumpkin sales after Halloween. We run out of pumpkins before Halloween, cheep grocery stores don't want to be left with extra stock and sell it for a $1. You are so lucky.

We don't either. But I got a great deal a couple years ago, so they're canned up and sitting right next to the butternut squash.

Kids in the kitchen, early on is a wonderful thing. Granddaughter already keeps me company when her Dad or I cook.

Daughter has been helping since she could sit in a highchair, and just look at what I was using, learning all the names for different things and food used in the kitchen, did the samething in produce aisle at grocery. She could cook you a fine meal at 14y/o now.

That's awesome! Mom had me cooking full meals around 7.

ETA: But I did have a LOT of mentors.

Yep, I was told by Mom at 16 I had to make evening meals 3 times a week. But nobody had really shown me much. Luckily we were a very close extended family in those days, my cousin's full Italian Grandfather taught me to make some really yummy italian food from scratch, Daddy was 1/2 Italian and a great help. And when I married (the first time) at 18, first hubby's grandmother took me under her wing. She was a great cook and I still use many of the recipes from those days today, everyone loves them!!!

I have fond memories of Saturday cooking lessons. My Grandmother's neighbor was first generation Sicilian. There was always something new to cook starting at 8:00AM on Saturday.
