If we’ve painted pumpkins and kept them out side they usually are still good, and can be cooked up. If we carve we usually scrape out a lot of the flesh before carving and cook that for puree, and roast the seeds. When we are tired of looking at them we feed them to the animals. (we have farm animals!)

Put the pumpkin seeds on a foil covered cookie sheet and roast in the oven. You can add some salt or spices near the end if you want also. Yes, they’re great!

Butternut squash is my fav for pumpkin pies
Like hubbard, they seem to give more solid puree
than pumpkin.

We have a dress-up kit where you just push a hat, face, etc into the pumpkin — like Mr. Potato Head features! It makes a witch and we use it every year. I like to buy a white pumpkin for DD to paint. And I’m all about carving. So we normally buy 2 to 3 pumpkins a year. We carve/prepare the day of — I take the day off from work since I do the harvest party at DD’s school, too! — so that the pumpkins aren’t exposed for too long. Nov. 1 the pumpkins are butchered for their meat. I save in 2 cup increments for pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, etc. This year I’m going to try to save the seeds, too. I hear they’re pretty tasty.

If you ever see one, get a hubbard squash. It’s big and ugly but the middle is just like a pumpkin. In fact, a local guy that grows them told me that hubbard squash is used more for pumpkin pies than pumpkin is! They are *HUGE* and super-meaty. One medium-sized hubbard squash gave me 10 cups of puree last winter. It takes at least 2 or 3 pumpkins to get the same thing. Another cool thing about hubbard squash — the flavor is the same as pumpkin, but more intense.

Thanks!
It’s my job…. meaning I have this really cool job with a lot of down time… I just need to be here, keep the door open, answer phones, and do a minimum of paperwork. The rest of the time is mine – and the boss just wants to keep me happy – so he encourages the internet use In a pinch, I can even bring the grandkids here Cool family friendly bosses here Why would I even think about retiring yet!

@TheProfitMaze @tabitha so happy these will come in handy on Halloween. I must admit, my “Better Half” made these templates and had lots of fun making fangs.

Saving for the grandkids! Thanks!

Had to harvest the huge spaghetti squash last night as we were expecting a freeze this morning…. rain instead So will use black markers on one of them, as that way I can still eat the squash later
