Thanksgiving in Saskatchewan


Matt and I decided to do a little pumpkin pie taste testing this Thanksgiving. We made pies from a can of pumpkin puree and the others right from scratch from a huge pumpkin. But before we could make the pumpkin pies we had to track down a pumpkin, which was a little trickier than we expected. We did not find a pumpkin in the small town local store, so we called a few phone numbers that had advertised pumpkins for sale, but with no luck. So Matt and I went on a little road trip to the neighboring town of Fort Qu'Appelle, where we tracked down a rather large pumpkin. After a little baking the night before and ingesting of a wonderful thanksgiving meal the next day we tasted it out... and found the one from scratch won.
