And pumpkin isn't pumpkin, but some other type of squash that is specifically grown to be labeled as pumpkin. Apparently, false advertizing is legal.

I drink coffee black, but keep some flavor of liquid creamer in the refrigerator to make that last cold, bitter and re-heated cup palatable. The last shopping day I grabbed a container of pumpkin spice.

I'm sorry for you. That was a poor choice for coffee, old and cold. French Vanilla is a better choice.

old and cold gets a 50-50 mix of milk or cream and a trip through the blender with some ice.
I kinda prefer it that way to tell the truth.

Well Mom got the cat fixed ....... Long story short hide rugs done for long life in the dry climates by locals trained on the regional arts shouldn't be taken from the land of what's rust to the southern swamps . About all that could be saved was the head and tag .

I had occasion to get out one of my favorite "heavy cutting" kitchen tools yesterday . It needed a little touch up , sectioning out the 15# case of frozen bacon was a breeze , ribs 3-4 at a time no problem . Sharp it'll slice tomatoes too , although an 8" 40 oz cleaver is a little heavy for that .

This is the fluid out of the kids master cylinder ...... I don't know if it's water , it's definitely growing stuff in it . Same DOT 3 different brands ....... I guess it's all synthetic now , maybe a poor reflection of the old and new not mixing ......KIMG0208~2.JPG

Blue Hubbard squash is the key ingredient In Mrs Paul's pumpkin pies.....Curcurbita Maxima! They are huge and have more flavor then; as what we call them a "traditional pumpkin" ( Curcurbita Pepo) However the best tasting Pies are made from Butter Nut Squash ( Curcurbita Moschata)!
I kid you not!
I supposedly have a genus named after me It is Curcurbita Flilpskii! A recently past Horticulturist friend Bred a Curcurbita Moschata with a Curcurbita Pepo after years of work and named it after me because we both were trying to do it! ......Again seriously I kid you not!
However it takes years after the data is submitted for it to become official.....It has to be proven in repeatable crosses.
He passed away this year before ever hearing the final decision!

I use two cleavers. A light & heavy. I picked up mine in the garage sale, oh my goodness, 20+ years ago. I don't know what it weighs, but it's solid, it's a quarter inch thick image.jpgand at least 8 inches long what is lit a hard life before I got it. I was always going to put a new handle on it.

The light has no markings and a antler handle. It is nice to work with and yes razor sharp.

I am the lucky recipient of the family cleaver. That's the big one in the bottom of the photo. It was my Dad's Uncle Willis's cleaver. My Dad's Father made the cleaver in his smithy from a plough share. The middle one is a Biddell. The top is another home made I think. The big knife is my pig sticker. After you pop a butcher hog in the head you hoist it up on a gambrel while the heart is still pumping and stick it from the front sort of along side the neck into the heart. If you're makin' blood sausage you catch the blood in a big clean pan and have a kid handy with a big goose feather to keep stirring the blood to keep it from coagulating.IMG_4207.jpg
