Pumpkin Carving

Halloween is almost here so tonight was the night to sit down with the girls and carve pumpkins. Jan and I stayed with straightforward designs although hers is very avant garde and mine is very traditional. The girls went crazy as usual and theirs look great. We put on a thunderstorm CD really really loud and listened to torrents of rain and loud crashes and rumbles while we carved away!

We won’t be eating any of this/these pumpkins – they just turn bad too fast – so no recipes. I did make a delicata squash and onion risotto tonight but it didn’t come out all that well. Thumbs down all around in fact. So no recipe there either.
