For Pete's sake, make pumpkin pies! Nothing more delicious than those, with
their spicy, cinnamony, clovey, nutmeggy scents. Like a nice cheesecake
without the cheese. Excellent with whipped cream.

Never been a fan of pumpkin pie. I'm not a sweet pie kind of person. But
soup, pasta sauce (cooked in cream), added to risotto, added to cakes, all
work fine ... (spice to taste, as appropriate)

I like sweet pies, but they need something acid to avoid being
sickly - and pumpkin does NOT count. However, you can make an
excellent pie with pumkin, bacon and mustard.
