I would start bugging the owner in early September to start making pumpkin. He would eventually get around to it. I threatened to come one night and cover the windows with paper pumpkins. =) <BR/><BR/>A good use for little pumpkins is to cut out the center and put a votive in it, or even a taller candle and use it for a candle holder on your table. They last for awhile before they go mushy. <BR/><BR/>I will be posting a link on my blog about your give away!!!<BR/><BR/>www.amazinggrazefarm.blogspot.comMarcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837798938089334872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13772041.post-9518140551246502762007-10-09T20:48:00.000-06:002007-10-09T20:48:00.000-06:00I LOVE the pumpkin jokes and stories!Keep 'em comi...I LOVE the pumpkin jokes and stories!<BR/><BR/>Keep 'em coming!Kathy, Jeff's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16148526753978600816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13772041.post-27400546508149439422007-10-09T20:07:00.000-06:002007-10-09T20:07:00.000-06:00You can also put a can of pumpkin with a spice or ...You can also put a can of pumpkin with a spice or carrot cake and no eggs, put into muffin tins and back.

I was SO excited when I finally saw a bloom and a tiny pumpkin starting to grow. I was out there every day making sure there was not a weed in sight and watering it thinking its little and tiny now but for sure it is going to be HUGE!! ROTFL, Well I had signed up and already to paid to go to camp that year and I was gone a total of 5 days, Mom promised to take care of my pumpkin for me. Well, she did a poor job and I came home to find weeds and my poor pumpkin (still tiny) looking pathetic. I was out there trying my best to try to help the poor plant when someone decided to let our dog Sam loose to play..he ran straight over to where I was, grabbed my poor pumpkin in his teeth and took off. I about flipped, I was chasing him trying to get my poor pumpkin back but he was too fast. Ended up I had a tiny pumpkin with huge teeth marks for all my hard work ROTFL, Maybe I should try planting a pumpkin next year, maybe it will turn out better haha!!

Spray a baking sheet with non stick spray, or oil it down with your favorite cooking oil. Sprinkle with salt to taste, you might find yourself using a little more salt than usual. Bake at 325 degrees F until toasted for 15 minutes. STIR and flip. Bake at 325 degrees F until toasted for another 15 minutes. Let them cool off completely before eating them. Store in an air tight container or Ziploc bag.<BR/><BR/>AngelaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13772041.post-35831994059645446652007-10-08T17:46:00.000-06:002007-10-08T17:46:00.000-06:00P.S.
