 Turns out I baked last year's pumpkin head on this same date. I just couldn't let it sit around and get funny or it would be wasted. Don't want to waste one morsel of that lovely orange flesh. This year's pumpkin was considerably heavier and obviously taller than last year's (not sure on the overall size, but pretty sure it was bigger).
I nearly had trouble getting him into the oven in one piece (not to mention without dropping him on the floor). Bubbs has been baked and cubed and is chilling out in the fridge awaiting his chance to become chili and pie and who knows what else.Labels: autumn, food, holidays, winter |
I'm glad you use the pumpkin after you carve it. I always think it is such a shame how many of them get thrown away.
I love Pumpkin pie. It's one of my favorites!
