pumpkin day

We finally carved the one and only garden pumpkin of the year. My daughter drew the face and I cut it out. (I had to scoop most of the insides too, she's kinda squeamish about gooey hands).

 After the carving part was done, she was eager to help with roasting the seeds. She helped wash off the seeds

 stir them in the pot (this new recipe I tried has you boil them for ten minutes before roasting)

 and then toss with flavors. We did some with just salt, other half with garlic powder. They tasted so good! The best roasted pumpkin seeds I've ever had. From my own home-grown pumpkin yipee.
