I had so much fun at the pumpkin carving party on Saturday. I spent a little while carving my little pumpkin from the farmer’s market, and then I spent over an hour separating pumpkin seeds from slimy orange innards. I roasted them the next day and now I am wondering what to do with over a pound of roasted pumpkin seeds…

I love carving pumpkins because it feels so wholesome to me, and, as with all things fall-related, it makes me nostalgic for the cool autumn nights of years past. I’ve decided that this Halloween, instead of going out, I want to stay at home and carve more pumpkins with friends, bake something pumpkin-y, and watch Return to Oz. Because apparently I am currently obsessed with that movie.
