talked about as a possible course for
the Thanksgiving dinner. The best
recipe for pumpkin pie may be of
interest to housekeepers. Carefully
prepare the other ingredients for the
pie and then take a small piece Of
pumpkin with all traces Of seed and
rind cut away with sharp knife.
Soak the slice Of pumpkin in pure
fresh water removing all taste and
odor Of pumpkin, then hold it up in
the right hand between. the pie and
.lfbe sun, SO that the shadow of the
pumpkin will fall on the pie until
you can count ten, then give the
pumpkin to the cow and bake the
pie, either latticed, with crust or
covered with whipped cream.
