Halloween

Halloween is pretty big here. Not as big as Christmas or Thanksgiving but it's definitely up there with Ash Wednesday and Pancake Tuesday. We were invited over to a friends house last night to carve pumpkins and have a laugh. I'd never done this before but it basically involves making an opening in the top and scooping the guts out of it. It's kind of similar to removing the contents of a person's head in some mad cult ritual. Most of the pumpkin brains can be put to use in recipes. We took the hundreds of seeds and roasted them in the oven. They kind of taste like popcorn. Beautiful.
