We carved pumpkins on Sunday night. Then roasted the seeds in a big frying pan with kosher salt and olive oil. I'd never roasted seeds on the stovetop before but that's what it said in How to Cook Everything and it was good.
Cody made his own design
and I did a freehand version of the Albuquerque Craft Mafia logo. This photo has Phunq kitty in the window in the background.
I couldn't find my old printcarving tools, which usually work much better for pumpkin carving, but I did find my old clayworking tools did the trick pretty well. We recognize the painful irony that Cody is better at pumpkin carving and graphic design while I have the Art degree and that I'm a better essayist and more prolific writer while he's the one with the English degree. Oh yes we know.
But we'll see whose jack o lantern is spookier when the candles are inside! I'm going to make the kids vote before I give them candy tonight. Bet they'll vote for the one made by the lady holding the candy. Bet they will!
