But Rosie Sweeney Todd is a MUSICAL
In the meantime some nice pumpkin recipes from the Guardian
Pumpkin anf Goats cheese lasagne
Serves 12–15.
For the pumpkin filling
2 tbsps olive oil
30g butter
8 sage leaves
2 onions, peeled and finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2.2kg pumpkin, peeled, deseeded and cut into 3cm rough cubes (just under 2 kg of pumpkin flesh)
75ml vermouth or white wine
60ml water
1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes
salt and pepper
For the tomato sauce
1 x 700g (700ml) bottle passata
500ml water
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp maldon salt or 1 tbsp table salt
Good grinding of pepper
For the cheese layer:
450g soft fresh goat's cheese
500g ricotta cheese
3 eggs
Good grating of fresh nutmeg
600g fresh lasagne sheets
2 balls mozzarella
125g pine nuts, toasted in a hot dry pan
salt and pepper
To make the pumpkin filling
Heat the oil and butter in a shallow casserole and fry the sage leaves over a gentle heat for about two minutes.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan and fry very gently for another 10 minutes or so.
Add the pumpkin pieces, turn well in the oniony oil and, after about five minutes, add the vermouth (or wine), the water and chopped tomatoes. Simmer, covered, for an hour, stirring occasionally so the pumpkin cooks evenly. Taste for seasoning and leave to cool.
To make the tomato sauce
Pour the passata and water into a large jug or bowl, and stir in the sugar, salt and pepper, whisking it together.
To make up the cheese layer
In a separate bowl beat the goat's cheese and ricotta with the eggs, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6, slipping in a baking sheet as you do.
To assemble the lasagne, put 500ml of the cold tomato sauce in the bottom of a roasting tin (measuring approx. 36cm x 26cm x 6cm).
Then layer with a third of the lasagne sheets, overlapping them well.
Layer a third of the pumpkin filling over the lasagne, and dollop on a third of the cheese mixture, coaxing with a rubber spatula. It won't cover; think more of spreading blobs about. Then start again with a layer of lasagne, followed by pumpkin, then the cheese.
Repeat – lasagne, pumpkin, and the last of the cheese mixture. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over, letting it sink down and be absorbed in the layers.
Slice and chop the mozzarella balls and dot over the top.
Cook in the oven, on the baking sheet, for 1 hour. Once cooked, let it stand for 15–30 minutes to make serving easier. As you slice, you will notice a shallow tomatoey, cheesey pool at the bottom of the tin; bread dunked into this is gorgeous. Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the lasagne, and cut into squares to serve.

Jamie Oliver's spiced pumpkin soup
Serves 4-6.
1 pumpkin, peeled and seeded
2 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 dried red chillies
Olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
A bunch of fresh sage, leaves picked
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 carrot, sliced
1 stick of celery, trimmed and chopped
1.5 litres vegetable stock
4 tbsp sour cream
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/ gas mark 6. Cut your pumpkin flesh into even-sized chunks and transfer them to a roasting tray.
Bash up the coriander seeds, cinnamon and dried chillies with a pestle and mortar until nice and fine, then sprinkle over the pumpkin. Drizzle with a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then roast in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes until nice and soft.
Just before the pumpkin is ready, gently cook the chopped onion, carrot and celery with a little olive oil in a large pan for 10 to 15 minutes until without colouring. Add the roasted pumpkin to the pan and pour in the vegetable stock. Bring everything to the boil then turn off the heat and blitz to a puree with a hand blender. Meanwhile, fry your sage leaves in a little olive oil for a couple of minutes until crispy.
Serve your soup with a swirl of sour cream and a sprinkling of crispy sage leaves in each bowl.

Keith Abel's custardy pumpkin pie
Serves 6-8.
½ small pumpkin, seeded (about 500g)
½ standard coffee mug of sugar
1 tbsp cornflour
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger
3 eggs, separated
1 tsp vanilla essence
310ml milk
½ tsp ground nutmeg
For the pastry:
A pinch of salt
210g flour
100g cold butter
3-4 tbsp cold water
To serve:
Whipped cream, double cream or ice cream
Crystallised ginger
Preheat oven to 190C/375F/gas 5. Put a piece of aluminium foil on a baking sheet or in a large baking tin and pop the peeled pumpkin flesh on to it. Cover well with more foil. Bake for about 40 mins or until the pumpkin is tender. While it's baking, make your pie base.
To make your pastry, first mix the salt into the flour. Add the cold butter and cut it into the flour with two knives or give it a few blasts in a food processor. Slowly sprinkle in the cold water until the pastry just holds together. Pop the dough in a bag in the fridge for at least half an hour.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and lift into a greased pie pan. Crimp the edges and prick the base all over with a fork, then pop into the bottom of the oven for 5-10 minutes. This should help your pastry stay crisp when you pour in the filling.
When the pumpkin is soft, hoik it out of the oven and let it cool. Puree it in a food processor or press through a strainer until super smooth. Weigh out 250ml (8fl oz) of the puree and freeze any extra.
Once the puree has cooled, stir in the sugar, cornflour, cinnamon and ginger. Then mix in the egg yolks, vanilla essence and milk. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy, but not stiff. Gently fold in the pumpkin mixture. Pour into the pie base and sprinkle nutmeg on top.
Bake at 210C/410F gas mark 6 ½ for 10 minutes, then lower the heat to 180C/350F/gas 4 and bake for a further 30 minutes, or until set in the middle and lightly browned at the edges. Serve with fresh whipped cream, double cream or ice cream and a few chunks of crystallised ginger.

Ooooh From Hell, the PERFECT fright night movie. And I LOVE that movie too. Just saw it recently.
Of the pumpkin recipes you listed the soup sounds interesting.
Hey Rose, do you use a real pumpkin for making pumpkin pie? I use the canned mix. In fact I don't think I have ever cooked a REAL pumpkin.

I'm afraid there is no local bakery in town.  The recipe sounds good. If I wasn't so lazy, I might do it. Maybe someday.

Oh my dear. I miss my mum.
But I have my mother-in-law to fill the gap. Eisabeth may be Gernan but she learned the traditions of England. Makes toffee aples and baked spuds for Halloween

Me too. Most of my cooking ability came right at the elbow of my mother. She instilled in me at a very young age, the joy of making something delish to eat. Hugs for the moms.
Yes, indeed. Mrs. A's mum is still very much with you and she is a grand cook as well. Enjoy.
I used to LOVE candied apples. You guys have them over the big pond? A red hard candy coating on an apple? But caramel apples are also the bomb. Store bought candy is the meme of the day in the States for trick or treaters usually. I have a big ol' bag of mixed mini candy bars ready to go.

Sue's mum makes her own candied apples. The kiddies love them.
traditionally Halloween was always a big deal in the North of England. My own mother used to bake cakes for halloween. Sue's German mother connected it with Walpurhgis nicht. A tradition of Germany.

Interesting. I've HAD candied apples, but I don't know if I've ever MADE them. I've made and had caramel apples on many occasions.
I love to bake. I used to bake a lot, but I've cut back because we all have to watch our weight. *sigh* 
As for pumpkin.. I've grown them, I've cooked them (on the stove) and I've cooked them (baked in the oven). I LOVE pumpkin pie.. and I sometimes make a crustless pumpkin pie as a side dish (low-calorie, and very good.)
Pumpkin & goats cheese lasagna sounds rather interesting.. have you ever tried it Ayslhyn? As much as I like pumpkin, I'm not sure how much I like pumpkin flavored stuff... pumpkin cheesecake.. etc.. I might try that custardy pumpkin pie. I've got to start coming up with Thanksgiving recipes.

I never made candied apples because I didn't like the hard candy shell. I prefer the caramel apples for their gooey yummy caramel covering. It makes the apples taste so very sweet. YUM!!

Howdy to all the FOODIES.
Last night I made a full fried chicken supper. Mashed taters and gravy with biscuits and braised sprouts. SO good and I have some chicken left over.
On Saturday I made pancakes and sausage.
How about you?

My daughter was home from college this weekend and she loves chili.. so we had chili!
C-R, the candied apples I've had were made from a cinnamon-red-hots coating on the outside of the apple, HOWEVER.. my grandmother used to make something that I loved and I don't remember how she made them. I think she would bake the apples in a cinnamon-red-hot solution so that the apples would soak it up (not a hard coating, just a flavoring) and then she would fill the center empty core area with cream cheese & walnuts once they'd cooled. yum.
SO.. I believe I am having Thanksgiving dinner here.. I will probably have my 'traditional' menu, but I was wondering .. what does everyone else have for Thanksgiving?

Don't you normally do Thanksgiving? We have the very traditional Thanksgiving. HUGE turkey, stuffing, gravy. Stuffed cranberry sauce, yams with walnuts and smellows. Braised sprouts, mashed taters, yeast rolls, pumpkin trifle. We also make this exact thing for Easter and that is how long it has been since we had this meal and I AM READY for it. I love Thanksgiving supper. Usually we have 7 or 8 people at supper and everyone goes home with a ton of food and still there is massive leftovers.
Glad that you had some time with daughter and the chili, I am sure was great.
WOW, those stuffed candied apples sound great.
I haven't had the old fashioned kind of hard red coating since I was a kid, but I didn't remember them being like red hots. *confused*
No clue what is on my menu tonight.

I agree with C-R! I'm going to rwhens for leftovers!!!
Eru! That is.. uh.. bizarre! I would think kids would LOVE it! It's really creepy with the black spaghetti!
Rwhen, yes, I normally 'do' Thanksgiving. Turkey, dressing, mashed taters, gravy, cranberries, yams with pecans & brown sugar, cucumber salad, rolls, pies, some kind of mixed veggies in sauce.. etc.. etc..

For surely. I used to hate stuffing, but now I love it! Especially the one made with bread or something. And with gravy and cranberry sauce and yams... *drool* Lol, now I'm hungry, and I've only a cereal bar here at the library.

My family always made stuffing.. but I've learned to make dressing after the tradition in my husbands family. They take turkey broth, meat from the turkey neck, sausage, bread and spices, etc.. and make it in a slow cooker, outside of the bird. It has a fluffier, drier texture than stuffing.. and it is good with gravy on it.

You are making me hungry. I've always loved Thanksgiving dinner, turkey with all the trimmings. mmmmm.......
Of course, turkey sandwiches for weeks afterwards.
