They go hand in hand, autumn and pumpkins. In the us, i see them scary faced on halloween, and then, sweetly dressed as pumpkin pies for thanksgiving. Yet to me, one of their best impersonations is as calabaza en tacha: pumpkin cooked in a piloncillo syrup. Craving tacha, i paired two things: the pumpkin i saved from my boys' halloween makeover and my new orange flamed french oven.
