Pumpkin's Progress
Oct. 24th, 2005 02:28 pm- Between dinner and the Wendling's bedtime is not quite enough time to gut and carve two medium-sized pumpkins and separate the seeds from the pulp, but that's primarily because I'm a maniac about getting all the seeds.
- I ♥ roasted pumpkin seeds. Salty, crunchy, and guilt-free. Someday I will teach my boy to love them.
- Two pumpkins' worth of unshelled seeds have several times the USRDA of fiber in them.
- I still can't turn my back on the Wendling if there's a sharp knife on the table. Luckily, the only damage was to pumpkins. You could even argue that scars belong on jack-o-lanterns.
- He's learned to draw a face that's big enough for me to carve, but he still doesn't use much of the pumpkin. At least he knows it this year.
