I think it's the first topic that really needed to be split, so I had to figure out what the tools were to do that. Not too bad, but not something I'd want to do every day.
I have used up all of the Cinderella pumpkin. It is rather bland, so it worked well in more highly spiced baked goods. I prefer the flavor of the pie pumpkins or the peanut pumpkin, where I can taste that I am eating pumpkin.
