Myself and college friends from UC Berkeley got together to celebrate Thanksgiving! Arani, Amber, Aniket, and I made pumpkin pies from real pumpkins!! It was so much fun. We bought the pumpkins from Safeway, gutted them ourselves (which made a huge mess in the kitchen, but it was worth it), followed the recipe, and cooked two delicious pies with some mixture left over. It was Arani, Amber, and Aniket's first time making a pumpkin pie from an actual pumpkin, and they had a blast. We all enjoyed eating the pie, and we had lots to spare. I ran up to Aniket and put whipped cream on his face when he wasn't paying attention. Unfortunately, he got me back, putting a blotch of whipped cream on my nose. Before I could wash off my face, Arani took a picture of me with whipped cream on my nose and posted it on Facebook for the world to see. It was definitely a memorable day probably one of my favorite college memories.
