Now that it is Fall in Missouri, there is an abundance of pumpkin. I see it everywhere. Knowing that I won’t be around on Thanksgiving day, my sister-in-law baked me a pumpkin pie. I loved it. I love the pumpkin spice. It reminds me a bit of fruitcake. One doesn’t even have to buy pumpkin spice if it is not readily available in your cupboard.
