Yes, that pumpkin-no-crust is a great thing to keep in the fridge, especially served with a squirt of whipped cream. And I'll argue the nutrition-per-gram-of-sugar is pretty high even if you kept the sugar. It's the cakes, cookies, and brownies that load on the sugar by the cupful.

Got one pot of soup done in my not-giant-pot, using a recipe not used in many years, and it all fit and worked well, just cut down a little bit on some of the meat and veg proportions. And got in supplies for more soups and stews.

Brilliant to do the dog-washing and bathrooms first, let's hope they can stay cleanish til the event!   I may try a similar plan today, washing some rocks on the porch and then moving on to window-washing before it gets any nippier. Haven't decided on lights, should I add some white or gold to go with the strings of green I used for St Pat's? Maybe I'll check ebay and etsy to see if there is a non-corporate-behemoth source for those.
