Pumpkin shortage

The nationwide canned pumpkin shortage has hit my town. I've been nearly beside myself for a few weeks -- pumpkin pancakes is my favorite Sunday morning breakfast. (Here is the recipe I use. Halve it for two people.) Initially I was certain that my local grocery store was to blame, but then I heard about the shortage. Dragged Eric to a grocery store in Muskogee that promised they had it in stock only to find this was not so. Luckily we found some at another store, and I bought seven cans. I used some to make this luscious pie that is already gone.

In entirely unrelated news, Malka Katt recently had a bath and was not terribly happy about it. Here she is, seeming to say I hate you.
