Well last night it was time to say goodbye to our giant pumpkin. We couldn't believe how thick the walls were - six inches! Mark, ever ambitious, spent the evening chopping, baking, boiling, pureeing, and freezing chunk...after chunk...after chunk of this monster. We are definitely set for the year's supply of pumpkin! Today I will roast the seeds - yum!.JPG)
Ella was happy to hop right inside! Too bad this one couldn't turn into a magic carriage...

For Holly it was more like a throne :-)

Okay that thing is huge! Did Ella get all yucky from being inside? How do you guys store/freeze or whatever you do to it?
ReplyDeleteWe actually put a garbage bag inside so she wouldn't get stuff all over her...basically we cook it, mush it through our food grinder, and freeze it in ziplocs. Then it can be used just like canned pumpkin for soups, desserts, pancakes, etc.
ReplyDeleteMy mom brought us a huge pumpkin from her garden. Taylor really wanted to make a pie out of it, but I'm not as resourceful as you. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI love how Ella fits inside the pumpkin, it is a cute picture! I Tagged you by the way! You write 6 things/habits about yourself, and then tag 6 others!
