{Memento} A Fading Year

My goodness! Some tremendous orange gourds were delivered in the kitchen shipment today! They look a little bit like gia*, but the crates said they were "pumpkins!" There are dozens of recipes that use them, especially in my holiday cookbook: soups, muffins, loaves, cakes, pie; the seeds can even be cleaned and salted and baked as a snack. A

Carve pumpkin? How carve?

[fluorite_flux]

Well, first we cut the top off with a knife, then we use a spoon to scoop out the mush and seeds, and then we cut shapes into the shell ^.^

[baby_chu]

What shape?

[fluorite_flux]

Why, any shapes you like! ^.^ We could even make a Pichu-face in the pumpkin if you want XD

[sweettooth_l]

Pumpkin pie sounds good.

[fluorite_flux]

I hope it's truly as delicious as it sounds! ^.^

[sweettooth_l]

Ah. I do know a thing or two about pumpkin recipes.
Pumpkin cake, pie, pancakes, cheesecake, bars....
Maybe I can help you.

Pumpkin? I suppose that sounds like a good thing to eat, un.

I certainly hope I can make them tasty ^.^ Would you like to carve one? I'm sure there are ways to make them really beautiful ^.^
