It might be hard to make pumpkin pie this year. "Soggy fields" and "fungus," the perennial banes of the pumpkin farmer, have left tons of pumpkins rotting in the field and created the very real possibility that there may be a shortage of canned pumpkin this season. The problem is worse because 2008 was also a bad pumpkin harvest, which means there is little backstock to rely on.
We call upon Obama to release the Strategic Pumpkin Reserves.
If you can't get any canned pumpkin, you can also go to your farmer's market and buy some butternut squash. Roast it in the oven and use just like the good ol' canned stuff.

Really? The commissary on base has pallets full of the stuff, in large and small cans. Hmm. Maybe I should buy a case and put the cans on Ebay.

first, they came for the pumpkin. I did not speak up, for I didn't care for pumpkin.
next they came for the sweet potato. I did not speak up, for I didn't care for sweet potato

I could take or leave pumpkin. As long as the sweet potatoes and pecans are safe, I'm happy.

Honestly, I feel the same way about pumpkin. Now if they said there was an apple shortage it would be totally different. I love making and eating apple pie for Thanksgiving.

Well that sucks. I like pumpkin. My dog LOVES pumpkin so if he understood these things he might be sad.
