hehehehehe! I'll be making my own puree. Mum decided to grow pumpkins in her veggie patch this year and rather than listening to me when I told her they tend to be ENOURMOUS plants that take up loads of room, she went and planted a ruddy PATCH full. So now she has all these pumpkins she has no idea what to do with. Guess who's getting the left-overs! :-D I've never actually made pumpkin pie before so I thought oh what the hey, I'll give it a go.

You think my pony is yucky, eh?
She'll be most displeased with that and given her tendency to run around like a mad woman squealing and bucking ... watch out.
Sounds yummy though :p

Nooooooo!!!!! I liiike your little poneh!!!! It's the spice I can't stand, it makes my tummey feel funny. Funny tho isn't it, Nutmeg is a reallly popular name for ponies, I've known two in my life, plus yours now.

I realised that 2/3 of my horsies have food names. I named none of them and yet I have a spice and a syrup. It kind of works for them. Nutmeg is spicy and my Dad always calls Moocow Treacle. Mo also can't stand Molasses, ironic.

:-D I did notice that with your two but didn't really think much of it, esp when my two have got such drool and creative names like Danny and Destiny *rolls eyes* My only defense is that I didn't name either of them. Always thought if I ever bred a foal from Desi (which I won't) I would name it Legacy, always loved that name....
