This couldn't have come at a better time as I plan to carve pumpkins tomorrow night. This is one is adorable!
Very cool!! I have a pumpkin all ready to be carved,but haven't done anything yet and I need to!
Handing out candy is a great opportunity to stick tracts in there too!!
I carved pumpkins last week, so much fun. What a fun way to get in the holiday spirit!
Awesome! I'm definitely going to do some carving this year - though we don't really have that many trick or treaters.
A friend of mine just made some gorgeous snacks with the seeds too - she boiled them in salt water for ten minutes, (she suggested 1tbsp salt per 1 cup of water, probably need 4 cups of water for 1/2 a cup of seeds), let them dry overnight and then pop in a low oven for thirty minutes.
Think I'm going to try it - maybe with some red chilli/garlic salt like the put on the edamame at Wagamamas! They were honestly delicious.
Thank you for the tip on cutting the steam out, so it doesn't fall in:) My Hailey reminded me and it worked!!!
