...of a little pixie

Halloweenie

,

So guess what? Apparently, yesterday, it was Halloween yikes I know! We heard that a tradition of this low-key event is the carving of pumpkins, so here they are...
I had to work all day unfortunatly, so i was not the one to create this vegetable-art, but i was greeted to them staring at me from the window when i got home which was nice! I also walked in and saw a bowl of chocolate! bigeyes Helloo! happy *helps self*
Apparently this was not for me though down *gets chocolate hand slapped* This was for the trick or treaters. My sisters boyfriend pointed out that this must be the only day of the year you can go into a shop with a scary mask on and not be arrested rolleyes...it's also the only day of the year strangers can give children candy and not be arrested! lol

Anyway, we also roasted the pumpkin seeds for an hour zzz with spices and they were Yummmmers! bigsmile
I've never actually eaten pumpkin but everyone seems to rave about pumpkin pie so maybe one day i should eat some. I don't understand pumpkin pie though, cause i thought pumpkin was like butternut squash...ya know, vegetabley...but people eat pumpkin pie with ice cream? confused Maybe you just add lots of sugary goodness yes Sugar with FIBRE! lol wink

If You Go Down To The Woods....Poi-ing In Ze Dark!

Pumpkin pie, mince pie, and pecan pie are my favorites! No ice cream required, either with a good pie, whipped cream is a definite plus! bigsmile chef

Roasted spicy pumpkin seeds! Mmmmmm....
I think the secret ingredient to pumpkin pie is nutmeg - and whipped cream as mentioned above. up

Kirsty - Er nooo, i would of imagined that was somewhat impossible if i didn't know you'd actually done it! lol I have a hard time slicing turnip let alone carving it! nervous

Pumpkin pies have eggs, sugar, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, (or you can be lazy and just us pumpkin pie spice lol ), ... crap... I forget the rest. We eat it with whipped cream. Sweet Potato Pie is also popular this time of year, although I've never eaten it. Can't.Seem.To.Get.Past.Sugary(now with fiber!).Pies. gaahhh!

Alas I have never roasted my own pumpkin seeds. doh and I do love pumpkin seeds! The premade ones come with gobs of salt. yuck

Pumpkin soup is the way forward, perfect for warming you up on cold autumn days.
