A Day in the Life
Hello! In my previous post, I mentioned that I had attempted a sort of “A Day in Laura’s Life” photo essay. To be honest, I found it kind of boring. I tried to take some more photos today in the hopes that I could piece together two days and show off something interesting.
Uh. Well. I’ll leave that for you to decide. I couldn’t get the pictures on here without them taking up the ENTIRE BLOG and then some, so I put together a set on flickr.
If you want to know what it’s like to be me on a typical Tuesday or Wednesday, please click here. Since I took a few photos today as well as yesterday, you can see TWO days, that’s right folks, TWO! Think of it as a CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE story. Does the heroine end up watching a play? Or baking pumpkin muffins? It’s completely up to you!
In other news, a group I belong to entitled “Twentysomething Bloggers” declared that today is VIDEO DAY. Now, I had no plans to participate but unbeknownst to me, JK AKA the Wito took a video of me attempting to open a can of pumpkin puree this evening. I caught on that he was videotaping about 10 seconds into the video but not before making some fantastic faces. I am quirky. Here is the proof.

I’ve watched this video fourteen times.
Ok, twice.
Possibly fifty.
It may or may not be my desktop background and/or screensaver slash will be displayed at my future wedding.
You are adorbs!
HA HA HA HA! You are hilarious. Thank you dear. It’s definitely uh, not my finest moment. But hey, over here o this blog, we do love us some banality.
Pumpkin comes from a can?
It does when you are running low on time and have not yet perfected the carving up an actual pumpkin skill.
This is something I would like to work on, possibly this weekend though the CSA keeps giving me squash and those will have to take preference. WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THAT SQUASH! OMG!
As someone who uses pumpkin in baked goods, um, TOO MUCH… I’ve tried several times to use real pumpkin as opposed to canned and the consensus is that… honestly? There is literally zero difference in taste.
BUT there is about ten thousand amounts of difference in how much it costs // how much work it is // how messy it is. And the consistency sometimes makes baked goods come out weird.

Illin’ – I’ll have to agree with you on all points. But, if you can find them cheap, early in the season, it ends up being cheaper than canned. Plus, you’ll be supporting local farms, etc., blah, blah.
Of course, that’s not including labor or electricity/gas for having the oven on for an hour.
But you do have issues with BPA in canned goods. Or something.
True! Aluminum is no one’s friend.
a hundred years later, I have to say that I made a pumpkin pie the other weekend from a pumpkin, and I didn’t really find much difference at all in the consistency/taste… but cutting up and gutting that pumpkin for the same amount of stuff that comes in a can..!!?! I heart me some local farms, I do, but all I could think as I was scooping the last chunk of pumpkin out of the last piece of skin was A CAN OPENER IS SO MUCH SMALLER THAN A CUISINART.
