Nothing speaks fall more than a pumpkin roll. The moist pumpkin-spiced cake is filled with soft, sweet cream cheese. Perfect for Thanksgiving, which is not to far and never too early to start planning for.
‘Tis the Season for Pumpkin!
Pumpkin is the first thing that comes to my mind during fall season. There’s no stall at farmers’ market which doesn’t have big, small, cut-out, whole, or bright orange pumpkins. The smell of pumpkin tempts from all sides, making it impossible to ignore it. The Internet is flooded with pumpkin recipes, and when Halloween comes along, pumpkins scare us in the shape of various candlesticks, witches broomsticks, monsters, mummies, worms, spiders.
After a long time, in my dad’s garden, pumpkin didn’t bear any fruit last year. There weren’t any! Usually we are already bored by now and don’t know what to do with them, but there weren’t any last fall. Not even to bake them at least once in the oven (which is how we like them!).
This year the season started great. They showed up at the farmers’ market, though just a few of them. It’s a good thing we know a neighbor that saves us one.
