Smashing pumpkins

I made the tastiest pumpkin break yesterday. I like everything pumpkin this time of year. And nothing beats a slice of moist pumpkin bread with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. YUM.



Another funny thing happened yesterday...I was in the kitchen working on my computer at the kitchen counter. I kept smelling a feint odor of cat pee. It was driving me nuts. I don't have a cat. I thought dead mouse? In the basement? No, there was nothing in the crawl space under the dining room. It wasn't the houseplants by the window. I couldn't figure it out. Then all of a sudden it caught my eye (AND my nose): it was one of the little pumpkins in the compote dish on the dining table! It had totally rotted underneath and was leaking rotten pumpkin water THAT SMELLED JUST LIKE BAD CAT PISS! Gross!! But it actually made me happy to figure out what it was.
