Halloween isn't a thing in Australia but I do take notice of the date. Last year my daughter made a pumpkin sculpture, it was her first time and looked really cool.

We did use the removed pumpkin flesh up in pumkin soup and pumkin scones. Bear in mind Halloween is at the end of spring going into summer for me.

I would like to know the attaraction of something called 'pumpkin pie' and maybe see a recipe or two. To me pumpkin has always been a savoury dish but I am told pumpkin pie is a sweet dish.

*hugs*

Im learning ao much from my conversations with you. :)

I will get you some good pumpkin pie recipies for sure. Maybe even some pumpkin muffins. Pumpkin can be sweet, salty and savory. I love baking the seeds after theyve soaked in brine and the pie is always messy and fun. :p

love pumpkin seeds particulary salted ones. When we had pet mice we always gave them the pumpkin seeds to eat cause they loved them too. *hugs*

Oh! And wonderful pumpkin photos! It looked so fun!

Thank you!

You are so welcome!

Well, for pie and backing stuff I would need to check with my wife but she is down right now. I think the heat - about 110F and humidity from the thunderstorms the last few days has gotten to her but it may be something else. She has several she makes.

As for jokes and decorations, one year we stuffed some of my old clothes and boots with rags, adding a mask and some monster hand gloves; laying it next to the walk to the house. I donned similar attire and was on the other side. My wife sat in a rocking chair on our porch dressed in a black turtle neck sweater pulled up over her face; she could see through the knit; black hooded cape, gloves, pants and boots. She held a bowl of candy.

The kids would walk up to the house carefully watching the 'bodies' beside the walk. just as they reached the stairs she would move. They were not paying her much attention, thinking the bodies would do the moving. We lost more kids that year.

We did get some brave enough to come back for their treats though.

That sounds like wicked fun! Thanks for sharing, we'll have to see if we can get some volunteers to try this this year.
