Tonight I had a pumpkin carving party at Grodnick, a small crowd (for a small house!) of Alison, Jenna, Christine and Paul, all from the Watling Complex, yay!
Our one pumpkin - I'd picked one up from Safeway this morning thinking I would pick another one up on the way home, and thinking that others would bring their own. By midday all of Manoa was out of pumpkins (and apparently far beyond too!), so the five of us had just one pumpkin to share, but it was still a lot of fun! We made it into a four faced pumpkin, everyone carving out their own face, except Alison, she supervised!
Jenna working on her pumpkin face. Jenna also did the hard work of pulling out all the 'guts' and sorting through the schmoo to get to the seeds. Anyone know a good recipe for seeds? So the hope is tomorrow that we might get some trick-or-treaters coming up the long and windy stairs, we'll see. Tonight it is pouring it down, really nasty weather, if it's like this tomorrow I don't think our chances are high.

i love it! we get into decorating outside around here, but haven't gotten into pumpkin carving with the kids yet. i have to go check bookyG's blog to see if she posted anything. in high school she was in charge of getting 31 pumpkins carved!
Happy Halloween.
Cook the seeds in some butter and salt at 275 for 45 minutes or so stirring every few minutes. They are done when they turn brown.
We just baked our seeds, 325 for 1 hr 15 min. worked better....
