Mix the ingredients. One to two 2 minutes later, put more flour on top of it again, and fit it into the pan, and crimp it.

• Can of pumpkin
• 1 1/2 cups of sugar
• 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar

Put ingredients in a bowl and mix it all together. Pour it in the middle of the crust. Put a crust on top and make fancy designs in it if you want to. Cook it at 150 degrees for 10 or 15 minutes not hours or seconds. Wait a few minutes to put the whipped cream on so it doesn’t melt. Eat it all up like you want some more.

Turkey

• 1 turkey
• 1 bag of stuffing
• Seasonings (paprika, pepper, salt)

Pluck the feathers off of the turkey, melt the butter, and put it on the turkey, stuff it, mix seasonings together, and put them on the turkey, put it in the oven at 305 degrees for five minutes.

Go to the store and buy a turkey, or you could just shoot one if you have a tag. Take the plastic off and take the skin off if you want it off. Put it in a roaster. Put some chicken broth in the bottom of the roaster. Add some spices or seasonings. Bake at 300 degrees for three hours. About a half hour before it’s done, put in potatoes and carrots. When the meat thermometer shows that it’s done, take it out. Let it cool and cut it and eat it.

• 2 teaspoons ginger
• 1/2 cup baking soda
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk

Put the dry ingredients into the bowl. Put the eggs, milk, and melted butter into the bowl while stirring. Get the pumpkin out of the oven, take the skin off, and smash the pumpkin.
