Lookout tasted 11 pumpkin pies in Santa Cruz County. These two are the best.

Every fall, while Americans argue over the best way to cook turkey, the real star of Thanksgiving sits quietly on the dessert table, waiting to be smothered in whipped cream. For many, stuffing a wedge of pumpkin pie or three down your pie hole is an essential part of the third Thursday in November. More pumpkin pies than poultry are eaten during this culinary holiday — 50 million pies versus a mere 46 million turkeys. While some consider a confection made from squash controversial, pumpkin pie fans far outweigh the naysayers. It’s the most popular holiday pie, beating out apple and pecan by double digits.

It has been a very interesting and exciting mid-term election cycle these past few months. As a lifelong Democrat, I am ecstatic for the results across our nation.

Santa Cruz residents with disabilities worry about future of Medi-Cal and other essential services

Beth Stiles moved from North Carolina to Santa Cruz around 10 years ago to be closer to her elderly mother and father. Stiles is a leap-year baby, she said, and likes to think of herself as 16-and-a-half years young rather than 66 years old. An avid knitter and burgeoning business owner, her dream is to take her lived experience as someone with a physical and learning disability and help others with disabilities to advocate for themselves and their care.
