This week I decided to get my fall fix by forcing Mike to carve pumpkins with me. Apparently, he has not carved pumpkins since being a kid, unlike me who thinks Halloween cannot arrive without creating a good old jack-o-lantern. So we cranked the Halloween tunes and dug in (literally). I decided to create a scary fanged pumpkin and Mike created a cute kitty cat.
We concluded the day by watching
Dreamcatcher, a great Steven King movie with parasitic aliens (what more could you ask for).
I also attempted making pumpkin seeds for the first time ever this week, and they didn't turn out half bad. This is the
recipe I tried also following comments. Mike and I tried them and realized we weren't really sure what pumpkin seeds were supposed to taste like. Then we found out that I am a shell eater and he is a shell peeler/seed only eater. The night concluded with a showing of
American Psycho. Personally, I like when
Christian Bale plays the good guy better.
My next task for fall will be yummy
pumpkin cookies!
