Pumpkin Days

Today we got to work on the pumpkins we picked in the field yesterday. We are lucky to have a Culinary Arts student in our class. He spearheads our cooking adventures and supervises the kitchen. We cut up the special sugar pumpkins for pies and the other students made Jack O' Lanterns out of the other, larger pumpkins. It was a happy, fun time which is not over yet. We baked the pulp and prepared the crust today but ran out of time. Tomorrow we have to puree the pumpkin and bake it, and cut the faces in our pumpkins. I'm looking for my DVD copy of Sleepy Hollow with Johnny Depp, but I'm doubtful of success. We have enough to do without a movie, but Friday is movie day and I want something Halloweenie to show.
