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.

24-year-old woman swept to sea after walking under rock arch on California beach

A search has been suspended for a 24-year-old woman who was swept out to sea after becoming trapped by rising tides on a Northern California beach, the U.S. Coast Guard said. Se Nah Park was last seen in the water near Panther Beach north of Santa Cruz after being swept away about 8 p.m. Sunday, the Coast Guard said in a Tuesday news release. Park and three friends walked through a rock archway known locally as the Keyhole on the beach before becoming trapped by rising tides, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection firefighters said. The other three escaped, but Park was swept out to sea, firefighters said. Firefighters, police, sheriff’s deputies and the U.S. Coast Guard joined the search.

The Coast Guard coordinated an eight-hour search covering 95 square miles, the agency said. “Suspending a search is a difficult decision,” said Lt. Max Holloway, Sector San Francisco search and rescue mission coordinator. “Given the extensive search effort of the surrounding area and environmental conditions, we have suspended active search efforts pending further developments.” A National Weather Service beach hazard warning for sneaker waves and rip
