From The Patch To My Freezer

This post is especially for Teresa. It reminds me of one she would do. : ) I have found that since I've been married, I have tried a bunch of new things that I had never even attempted before and finding out I like it a lot. I had never cooked a pumpkin, or anything of the sort, but figured... hey, how hard can it be? Here's how it went....

Rinsing these slippery things is NOT an easy task. Reminded me of summer and squirting watermelon seeds! : D

I toasted them with garlic salt & worcestershire sauce. Twas quite good, if I do say so myself.

Only problem... one pumpkin doesn't yield very many seeds. : )

Cooked pulp ready to go into the...

handy dandy "ching" blender.

While I didn't make a pie yet, I did make some tasty pumpkin chip bread, and will tackle the pie on another day with Derek. Will see what the new year brings.

November

Since I am so far behind anyways, here's a summary of Nov.

Getting ready to go rake leaves at Ed & Delores' for a fundraiser.

Connor decided to come out and help too. : )

Leaves are TOO much fun!

Rides were fun until the tarp started to rip... : S

Luke & Peter, the might leaf blowers...

Thanksgiving day - Guess they were tired... : )
