Are you in charge of the appetizer on Thursday? Have I got a gem for you. Ruth Reichl has a tale invovling this recipe. I don’t remember much but I do remember how her friends raved and raved. Years ago in Berkeley, my good friend SB came to a party bearing this gift. We about died. So of course I’ve been making it ever since. The Stuffed Pumpkin fills so many requirements for me. It is fairly easy, calls for reasonable ingredients, looks pretty on the table, really wows your friends, and it tastes better than almost anything else. Sometimes I feel awkward bringing the stuffed beauty to other parties because I’ll just stand by it and eat from it the whole time. People will give me funny looks. Do not lose this recipe. It is a keeper. Once you eat it you’ll see why Dorie Greenspan calls it The Pumpkin Filled with Everything Good. I couldn’t agree more.

Becca,
It is so nice to see you posting again. I kept your blog linked to my blog for the longest time and then deleted it because you hadn’t posted for a really long time. I’m glad to see you have started again. I love your recipes. I haven’t tried any yet since I stick to simpler fare, but one of these days I will have to try. Now that you are in Utah, we need to have your family up for dinner or something. I hope everything is going well and you are settling in and not having too major of culture shock!
