Americans love pumpkin pies, especially in Thanksgiving  celebrations. I was not a fan of pumpkin pies when I was younger because it was too sweet and the idea of pumpkin as a dessert was too weird for me. But recently, I would enjoy pumpkin pies occasionally because it brings me memory of childhood, especially my love for Thanksgiving.]]> 2020-08-03 11:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/htun/f2t6t3ni88oxr5sh/wish/667920603 Chicago, IL, USA htun https://padlet.com/htun/f2t6t3ni88oxr5sh/wish/667923383 My aunt's pumpkin soup is my all time favorite energy drink.
