    I’ll have to try making something like the donut sometime, personally while I almost never eat pumpkin I like it and should see about getting cans.

    Your mom sounds like she was an absolutely lovely person. As for snow- don’t think I’d trust it in the city, but I have good memories as a kid of enjoying it, also of us setting jello outside during the winter. Such things are very cozy :)

      the donut is crazy easy if you do it like a fritter: just mash together the pumpkin, sweetener, some kind of flour/meal; some kind of oil/fat and maybe some eggs or diary if you like then fry it and five minutes after you’ve started, you’ve created a core memory for your children or a pleasant afternoon for yourself.

      i think it tastes best with nixtamal (mexican cornmeal they use for tamales and tortillas) and, if you do, you can steam it & use zero calorie sweetener for a significantly healthier alternative to frying & sugar. (make them SMALL if you want try baking it instead)
