	I can haz web-storefront?
	It's now official, I have a storefront with Zaarly to promote my personal chef services! Whoot! Which reminds me, it's Pie Season again, and I'll be taking orders now for Spicy Pumpkin Pies, and Deep Dish or Dutch style Apple Pies. Place your orders NOW! :) Just got a pile of local-grown heirloom apples (Macintosh, Newtown Pippin and Gravensteins) which work great in baking. I also got in my first run of pumpkins for the season and I'm bouncing with excitement as my beloved Long Island Cheese pumpkins are back this year! They are still my favorite go-to for baking, even if this year I bought some Rouge Vif d'Etampes (no, they are NOT the same as Cinderellas), Sweet Dumpling squash, Delicata squash, Red Kabocha, and a couple of Jarrahdales this year to start playing with. My local store has a sign up indicating that they'll have Fairytales (proper name: Musque de Provence) and even the new Porcelain Doll variety (a rather squarish pumpkin that's honest-to goodness PINK skinned) I think I'll have enough pumpkins to bake with this year, with enough to spare for canning so I could make pumpkin goodies all year round!

	Cinderella pumpkins

I have to add a note about my comment regarding Cinderella pumpkins: Both the Rouge Vif d'Etampes and the New England/Long Island Cheese pumpkin have been labeled "Cinderella" in some stores and catalogs. Cinderella is a specific heirloom that is similar to both as it is oblate with deep ribbing, but it is a separate variety (and it's orange, not buff or red). The confusion comes as the other two have often been described as "Like the Cinderella pumpkin in fairy tales" In fact, the french heirloom Musque de Provence is now being labeled as "Fairytale" for the same reason, but to avoid confusion with the other two or the original variety of that name.

When I have the finances, I intend on acquiring seeds of the Cinderella heirloom so I can grow it and have pictures online to enlighten folks of their confusion (as well as enjoying the fruits of my labor, as it is also a good cooking variety). There are several other fabulously good heirloom varieties that are difficult to find in stores as they have a less-than-model look to them (most of them have warty skins and/or webbing, making them poor for carving so stores don't bother)

I can hold off and have it to you the week before Thanksgiving, if you wish. :)

It's okay, it can take up space in my freezer instead of yours!
