Most Prized Possession

Here in Turkey, we have a horrible time keeping the shelves stocked in the commissary (grocery for you non-military folks). If you remember this post about not having meat, that wasn't the last time that occurred...it seems to be a regular occurrence now a days. Rather frustrating, really.

Anyhow, with it being Thanksgiving in just two days I will let you guess what the most prized possession currently is....

You think you know??...


Should I take bets?.....


Okay, I'll tell you now...

It's CANNED PUMPKIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This lovely little can, right here, is what EVERYONE is looking for.


thank you, Google, for the pic

Quite frankly, because I LOVE Pumpkin and REFUSE to go a holiday without Pumpkin Pie...I picked up a few cans at least a month ago. And no, I am not sharing or giving up the extra can that I have. Well, okay..maybe if you offered the right amount of money for it (of course, by that I mean like $10,000 or more). So, sorry that others on base will be going without it, but I will be baking not just one, but two, of these amazing beauties for Thanksgiving dessert tomorrow..


again, thanks Google.

Which reminds me, I need to check to see if the Commissary has whipped cream tomorrow. ha ha I have one can but may need another. After all, my slices are usually as big as the one pictured above. :)

Another delicious pumpkin dessert I LOVE is the Pumpkin Roll. And yes, I will be enjoying a slice (or two) of that as well. 

Go ahead and judge me.


yes, you got it..Google again

You would do the same if you had cans of Pumpkin too!

Happy Pumpkin eating (or dreaming)!!!

**UPDATE** I had a couple friends on base that were needing some pumpkin and since I knew I was going to have some leftover, I decided to be an awesome friend and fulfill their pumpkin needs. Ha ha And I didn't even charge them the $10,000 I said it was worth! :) Meanwhile, I hope the pies and roll I made taste as delicious as they smell!
