Autumn Kitchen Exuberance

I am baking a pumpkin pie. I made a wholewheat pat-in oil crust. I roasted sweet potatoes and Massachusetts-grown white potatoes and then cut them up and put them in a mixed greens salad with homemade dressing: buttermilk, olive oil, vinegar, salt, Adobo, sugar. The greens were half price at Price Rite: manager's special for quick sale. Now I am baking brownies using the leftover pumpkin.
