I may also roast the seeds from those, but that always seems to be better in theory than in practice.

Oh God, QFT.

Nothing seems more obvious and good than "hey, we've already slaughtered the pumpkin, why not make seeds?" and... nothing ends more disappointingly.

It is on a par with when two friends who are not really attracted to each other try to have sex, out of desperation and/or convenience, and it ends like home-roasted pumpkin seeds.

I mean, sure, there's pumpkin seeds to eat but pumpkin seeds aren't very good, there's all the mess and it would've been easier to just pay for them if you really needed pumpkin seeds.

The hell? I have never purchased pumpkin seeds that were anywhere near as good as ones fresh out of the oven. All toasty hot, all covered in more salt than is probably healthy, all full of delicious goodness.

Of course then what do you do with the rest of the pumpkin? I live in an apartment, so carving is out. And pie is just gross. But the store-bought are so bad I'd rather have no seeds at all.

Y'all are fucked up.  Pumpkin pie is good.

pumpkin pie is good.

pumpkin pie is HELLA GOOD.


I still think a lot about how the last time I smooched on a girl, it was shortly after she had eaten a bunch of pumpkin bread I made.

Pumpkin pie is fantastic. But it is really not worth starting with a real pumpkin. It is one of the few things in life where the canned product instead of the fresh is what you really want.

Cort: I don't know why you can't carve a pumpkin in an apartment - it doesn't really take up that much room - but you can come take a bunch of seeds off my hands in few weeks if you like.

I meant that carving in an apartment is sort of pointless. My balcony can't be seen from the street and I'm at the end of the hall, so only the people who live directly across from me would ever see it. And I haven't seen a trick-or-treater since I left home. I think there may be 1 age-appropriate child in the whole building.

But you get to see it! If you put bouquet of flowers or a nice centerpiece on your table, would you care that your neighbors don't see it?

Anyway, you need it to keep the evil spirits away.

It bugs the SO that our entire dining room area is invisible to me. I never notice when she puts flowers or anything on the table. Last week the runner blew off the table because we'd left the windows open on a windy day and I didn't notice. Three days in a row.

There might be a jack-o-lantern on the table right now for all I know.

Also, could we get a pick of your apples?  I kind of want to see what 35 pounds of apples looks like.

I'd say we're down to about 25 pounds, but:



Also, pie.

[lprkn]

Mmmmmm, pie.

[pmcd9]

That's some good lookin' pie.

Ah, pumpkin pie.  Wombats post is perfect.  I guess I kind of thought that was pumpkin flavored *i don't really know, goo?* Not, like, you know, a real pumpkin.

Canned pumpkin is really pumpkin, cooked a whole lot.

I don't mean canned pumpkin pie filling, which is canned pumpkin with the other ingredients already added. Come on, people, it is not that hard to add some eggs and milk and sugar and spices to a can of pumpkin, I mean, be thankful you didn't start with a real pumpkin and cut it up and peel it and cook it down till it was mush and then realize it isn't as tasty as the canned kind after all that.

The great thing about pumpkin pie is that even a lousy one is pretty good. Whereas a lousy apple pie is just heartbreaking.

While the apple market is apparently crashing from oversupply, the pumpkin market is experiencing a shortage: http://mjperry.blogspot.com/2008/10/pumpkin-shortages-and-scary-price.html. Buy pumpkins now, hide them in the garage and sell later! INVEST IN PUMPKIN, Pumpkin!

Remember:  the value of you pumpkins will never go down!  And just to make everything secure, I will sell you insurance to cover you in the utterly unlikely event that they do.
