President Obama wins the election...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PUMPKINS.....this is the first time I have done it all by myself...
Ross normally does it.


cut the pumpkins in half, scoop out the seeds, scoop the junk
off of each piece of pumpkin and place on a baking sheet.....


bake at 350 degrees ... took about 90 minutes before it was soft

remove the meat from the skins, put into a bowl....I used a stick blender to
make it smooth...you can see the difference in blended and not ....


a pie calls for 2 cups of pumpkin...so I filled up my freezer bags
with enough to make 2 pies each.....8 pies total...woohoo!!!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

now onto the seeds......rinse the junk off of them and drain...

In a bowl mix 3 cups of seeds , 2 Tbsp of veggie oil and 1 tsp of salt

place on a baking sheet....bake at 300 degrees for 60 minutes


keep moving them around with a spatula until they are crispy brown.


I remember having pumpkin seeds as a kid and loving them...
these tasted AMAZING!!!

all of the junk that got scooped out...and the cooked skins
went to the Chickens... love using every piece of the pumpkin...
not a SINGLE thing went into the garbage can.

Had small groups from church tonight...it was a great meeting!!!

Pleasant Dreams!!!
