Spelling Nazis - lighten up! Talk about soup or go somewhere else and start your own thread about spelling. And maybe I'll come and invade your spelling thread with some thread-creep about soup. Soup-thread-creep! ;-> Thread-creep soup?

The American pumpkin pies are sweet because they have sugar in them. Same pumpkin, I think.

An American couple who were living out here a few years ago invited me to a Thanksgiving Dinner at their place. Lots of yummy food, but sweet pumpkin pie - that was weird! An my friend was very bemused as well because she said it was the first time she had ever made pumpkin pie from fresh pumpkin rather than from a can.   Cultural differences!
