About two weeks ago, I bought the last can of cooked pumpkin on the shelf at the local grocery store to use in some cupcakes Mrs. glatt was making for a pot luck. On the phone today, Mrs. glatt mentioned that she had been to 3 different grocery stores in town looking for canned pumpkin to use in another recipe. All the shelves were bare. We joked about that for a bit. Who's buying all the pumpkin? Is there a big pumpkin pie contest going on in town? Were they recalled, or something?

So I got on Google, and to my surprise found out that there is a nation wide pumpkin shortage!

Thanksgiving is going to be canceled this year. No pumpkin pie.

Also, the sound of someone munching chips like they've never eaten chips in their life, is a most annoying sound.

What about Halloween?

Shawnee123 · 09-23-2009, 11:38 AM

We're lousy with actual pumpkins, but it's awfully hard to get canned innards.

Apparently the jack o lantern kind isn't the same as the baking kind.

Post whore time.

At dinner in the glatt household, we sometimes play a game where we will state 4 things that happened to us that day, and one of the four is false. Then everyone guesses what the false thing is. It's a good way to get the kids to open up about their days.

Yesterday my four things were:

1. I saw a woman swinging from a trapeze.

2. I saw a polo game being played in the street by a bunch of guys on bikes.

3. I saw a woman wearing a dress that made her look like a peacock.

4. I saw 4 of those big helicopters with the dual props on top fly by in a loose formation.

Which one is false?

And isn't it crazy that three of them are actually true?

classicman · 09-23-2009, 03:03 PM

I'll take option 1

glatt · 09-23-2009, 03:08 PM

You would think that, but really the helicopters one was false. Crazy huh?

Shawnee123 · 09-23-2009, 03:14 PM

I really wish you had a pic of peacock (pea-hen?) lady!

classicman · 09-23-2009, 03:31 PM

Were they really in a "tight" formation?

Has anyone seen Cirque de Soliel's Alegria yet? Worth seeing?

If it's anything like Delirium...don't bother.

Starting tomorrow, I am heading off to the mountains to go hiking. I will be offline until about the 8th of October. Be good, kids, play nice while I'm gone.

I haven't seen it, but I heard it was not that good after hearing that it was coming to VF.
