First of all, let me apologize for no pictures this time. :( My camera battery has been charging all day & I completely forgot to put it back in the camera to take pics.
So as part of our fall study, I decided to let the boys help me make a pumpkin pie today. They all had fun & it turned out great. I haven't actually eaten a piece of pumpkin pie since I was maybe 6 years old. I hated it. I've never eaten another bite since, determined that pumpkin "anything" was nasty. So after a yummy dinner of baked ham, sweet potatoes, mac & cheese, and green beans, I sliced everyone a piece of the pie with a glob of whipped cream on top. I was ready to get me a slice of left over wedding cake when Jacky asked why I wasn't eating pie. Well, they all guilt-tripped me into getting a piece. I hesitated on the first bite, but then realized how smooth & almost silky it was on my tongue. It wasn't too bad! Another bite...it was actually pretty good. Half-way through...I can't believe it, but I like pumpkin pie!! Who'd a thunk it?? lol
The moral of the story is....keep trying new things. Taste buds really do change. Just because you don't like something when you're 6 doesn't mean you won't change your mind when you're older.

Oh yum! I love pumpkin pie with a big ol plop of Cool Whip right on top. I am so glad that you decided to try it again. If you ask me, there is no better Thanksgiving dessert than pumpkin pie.
