Halloween

We got our pumpkins today. We went to Flo's Farm stand and picked out four pumpkins. I must have acquired some sort of skill at pumpkin carving at some point because I find the whole thing so much easier than I remember. I think that everything is like this though... when you are little everything seems to take years to get through. I remember being elbow deep in pumpkin guts, semi-grossed out and beat. Now it is just like fifteen minutes until jack-o-lantern.

We roast the seeds too. God I love those. They came out extra good this year for some reason.

Don't clean the pumpkin seeds off... just take out the big chunks of innards. Leave the seeds slimy with the remnant of the thready stuff still on them. Then coat in a bit of butter and salt... spread them on a couple of tinfoil lined baking sheets and roast at 350 for 45 minutes. Take them out a few times to turn them over and mix the seeds. That's it. So good!!! The kids are psyched for Halloween... I am too.
