Pumpkins in spring, and meditations on the Scottish play

[ceebeegee]

I had an old pumpkin in my freezer from last fall that I froze, planning eventually to process it into puree. I meant to do it earlier this winter, but finally got around to it tonight! I defrosted, chopped, blended and poured, and now I have 5 neat little 1.25 cups of puree suitable for making pumpkin bread or pie. (Or pumpkins Alexander!) Yes, it's out of season but who doesn't love pumpkin pie any time of year?

Now I have to look over my Macbeth scenes for tomorrow (first working rehearsal). No rest for the weary...jumping from New York in 1830 to murderous murderous Scotland...(or Alba--I wonder if the characters in Macbeth spoke any Gaelic?)
