Step One: Lug the pumpkin back home. The smallest pumpkins we could find here for 15 kilos! Luckily, the fruit guy around the corner sells them from time to time, so it's not too far to carry.
Step Two: Hack through the pumpkin in order to cut it into small and more manageable pieces.
Step Three: In multiple batches, boil said pieces until they become tender.
Step Four: Once the pieces cool, peel the thick pumpkin skin off of them.
Step Five: Blend the peeled pumpkin pieces to make pumpkin puree.
And then you have the stuff of pumpkin pies.
It makes you kind of grateful for canned pumpkin.

Silly Nate and Milli it's way to early in the year for pumpkin pie. Why are you doing that? (though I have to say I almost was going to do something like that for thanksgiving... and then I found the canned stuff and praised God.)
Hah, actually that was for Thanksgiving! But we were less than diligent about putting the pictures up ...and I thought the story had more drama to it in the present tense!
