Last night we cut up and roasted 2 giant pumpkins (also
toasting the seeds, yummy). I made extra pie crusts to freeze and have on hand,
and also plan on making something called “Pumpkin Butter” with all the puree.
We now have 32 cups of pumpkin puree! It took me a couple hours, and it managed
to burn up one blender- but I had a second base on backup (long story). So this
Fall I’ll hopefully be making lots of pies, breads, muffins, and oooh pumpkin
scones!
Back to carving- Lenora was absolutely disgusted by the innards
of a pumpkin! She ran away, hid, and kept saying “eww, dirty, icky”, yet she
had no problem whacking them with wooden spoons, and kicking them and when Lenora
has a wooden spoon or other long object she is not one to be messed with (flash
back to my ankle getting hit with her plastic broom, and swelling to the size
of a lime almost instantly)
Enjoy the pictures.
