    You do what you can. Chili pot-luck sounds pretty good to me, and I hope you have a wonderful holiday!

      Thanks, same to you!

      I made a “tester” pumpkin pie tonight and it’s killer. For Thanksgiving day we ordered one from a really good local bakery, and I’m hoping to beat it in my own unofficial pie contest.

              The recipe doesn’t specify a crust, so it’s just whatever you want to use. You can make your own, or use a store bought. Do they sell frozen crusts in your country?

              Pumpkin Puree, at least in the USA, is the only form of canned pumpkin that I know of. This is a popular brand - https://shop.caraluzzis.com/s/1000-2073/i/INV-1000-20608. It’s sort of an apple sauce consistency, but thicker. You can buy pumpkin with the spices already added, but I prefer to add my own.

              I’m sure there’s a way to use a real pumpkin, but I’ve never tried it.

        Good luck! You can certainly do it. I always look forward to my wife’s pumpkin pie. She goes strong on the spices. I make real whipped cream just before we eat pie and go gentle with the sugar so the creaminess and subtle sweetness blends well with the pie filling. My mouth is watering as I type this.
