Creepmas Day 8

Today, I am doing some Creepmas baking with the pumpkins I snagged post thanksgiving from my generous neighbors.  One of them was getting awfully manky in the garage and required immediate attention. 

eewww - pumpkingrot  and I'm not talking about our favorite blogger

I sliced off the nasty parts and cooked the remainder in the oven with a little water.  Then pureed the soft part, not the skin, in the vitamix. I found some yummy looking recipes online for pumpkin shortbread. I baked last night, without any high altitude adjustments, and am pleased with the results. Instead of eating the whole pan, I will share it with others at a holiday gathering on Thurs. Or so I say -Thurs is, after all, two days away. It has a shortbread crust, pumpkin filling and a crumb topping- very decadent!

I found the recipe online at allrecipes here.  It's a keeper.

Ooops - I forgot to check box number 8.  Damn - it is a little slip of paper that says "See his Lordship" .  He has gone fishing and I will have to wait for hours. :(  Maybe I should have some pumpkin shortbread to ease my disappointment.
