Blogger Brooklyn Supper suggests adding a bit of butternut or kabocha squash to a conventional pumpkin pie recipe for added flavor. You can read her recipe at the link.
This gives me a crafting/cooking idea: a pumpkin pie cooked inside a pumpkin then carved into a jack-o'-lantern.

Might I also add that I am thankful for Neatorama.
