I was shocked, shocked I tell when I got to the front of the line of at the local pumpkin patch to find out that the mishapen pumpkin that we plucked from the ever dwindling stock was going to cost us $18. EIGHTEEN BUCKS!!?!!

Anyway, we plunked down the money in the spirit of the season and carved the mutha up with a happy design to entice people into our apartment block, but alas, we had only one trick or treater, and we almost missed him because he knocked when we in the middle of making dinner.

Carving up the pumpkin was fun and we made two batches of roasted seeds onw with olive oil, salt and rosemary and one with butter, cinnamon and sugar. Delicious.
