Curved it! :)



After years of living here there are still things that we have yet to try and one of them is curving a pumpkin. So many times we thought about doing it… but never really get to for some reason. And so last Saturday, finally! We did it! :) We thought it’s going to be complicated and messy but the complete opposite… it was very easy and fun and not messy at all, we really enjoyed it! As you can see… we probably took more time taking pictures than curving the pumpkin hahaha! We’re thinking of making this a tradition now :) HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Now, what to do with the pumpkin seeds?


Found this really simple recipe online:

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups raw whole pumpkin seeds
2 teaspoons butter, melted
1 pinch salt


Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
2. Toss seeds in a bowl with the melted butter and salt.
Spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for about 45
minutes or until golden brown; stir occasionally.

Unfortunately, I burned it! Got distracted from watching TV plus the recipe called for a cup and a half of pumpkin seeds and we only have a hand full (well of course Warren saved some too for his garden next year! ) and I still baked it for 45 minutes! so go figure hahaha! :( Oh well, I’m just gonna have to try this again.

Produce :)


Why of course we have our little produce garden again this year... and of course i'll say "we" again even though it's mostly my hubby who did the work hehe... i helped! promised! :) Looks like this is becoming to be a tradition now for us... which is good... really good, actually! Especially when we try to grow new fruits and veggies. So to start of... here are what's new in our garden this year:

raspberries, green beans, and cherries : )

Pretty cool huh? But like from last time... little creatures around got to harvest the fruits before we did :( now we don't mind sharing... but apparently those little thing do! Silly little rabbits... or maybe it's the chipmunks... it's got to be the squirrels! Oh well, we're still happy! We get to enjoy weeks of not buying tomatoes! :p
