Thanksgiving 1

Thanksgiving is coming up and my goal is to make my first pumpkin roll with real pumpkin.  I made a pumpkin roll with pumpkin out of a can.  It was tasty, but I want to try it with a real pumpkin.  Last night I gutted the small pie pumpkin I had bought.  I made some tasty pumpkin seeds with the little seeds in the pumpkin.  Then I boiled the rest of the pumpkin until tender.  I then let the pumpkin cool.  The skin peeled right off.  After that I needed to mash the insides.  I have a small food processor that I figured I could use.  To find out it doesn't work.  I went old fashioned I took a fook and mashed the insides.  This took forever!  Since I didn't want to make the pumpkin roll until next week I placed the mashed pumpkin in the freezer.
