That's right guys, its true. There is a canned pumpkin shortage! I was happily roaming the aisle of Harris Teeter this afternoon, collecting the ingredients to satisfy my craving for a pumpkin pie (I cant fail to mention that I am in no way shape or form a baker, so this was an unusual task). My basket was loaded up with everything needed, but for some reason I could not pin point where the canned pumpkin was? I looked up and down the baking aisle, the canned veggie and fruit aisle. I even checked out the displays in the front of the store. I thought I was going crazy, I just couldn't find the pumpkin goods anywhere! Giving in to my need to be "Ms. Independent" I asked the nice man (I had stormed by about 4 times at this point) that worked at Harris Teeter where the heck the pumpkin goods were being held hostage. He then proceeded to look at me like I was the craziest person on earth and stated "miss you aren't gonna find any canned pumpkin at any store around here." He further explained that because of the weather they were having trouble getting canned pumpkins shipped out or something bla bla bla. To be honest, by this point I had tuned him out. My only concern was "GREAT now I have to go back and put all of the ingredients that I DID manage to find back on the shelf!" The moral of the story is to stock up on canned pumpkin because you never know when there will be a shortage! Who would have thought.......
