Michael's mom, Patsy, sent me this photo of their Gruyere Pumpkin they made at Thanksgiving. They couldn't find a regular sugar pie cooking pumpkin - this one is called a buttercup pumpkin. Looks lovely!

So you need to eat now like you need a hole in the head. Let’s take a food break and make a drink – alcoholic, of course! And it'll get you in the mood for more winter holidays…in Northern California or Florida you can just go inside, turn your air conditioner on and light the fire (or a candle if you don’t even have a fireplace!) or drive to Tahoe and it’s the same effect. Today I think the high in Davis is supposed to be near 70!
