Our Halloween Tradition

I cut my pumpkin in half and then steamed it. Then I scraped out all the pumpkin goodness and separated the seeds. I took the shell and put it outside for the squirrels.

I seasoned the cooked pumpkin with olive oil, salt, and pepper. It was tasty!

Pumpkin is freaking delicious! One of my favorite foods of all time!

You should post the pumpkin pictures here too!

I'm going to rely on @NetworkNerdWifey to post the pictures here as she is the master photographer in our household.

ok, so what's the max file size I can upload here? Apparently smaller than Facebook allows. I was going to add a few pumpkin pics but keep getting a "file too large" error.

Not that large. Far better to link than to upload if they already exist online somewhere.

NetworkNerdWifey

@scottalanmiller Ok. Well so far they only exist on Facebook, but will go in my Flickr soon. I'll post links then.

That really needs fixed. Is there a bug report on it or feature request?

The whole point of the upload button being tied to imgur is defeated because of this limitation.

The limitation is from imgur.

The Northeast USA actually has pumpkin growing contests to see how large they can grow them. I think the world record is well over 1000 lbs.

The world record-holding pumpkin is over a ton!

@thanksaj I feel bad for the big fat pumpkins - they just aren't as pretty as the small size. They're never perfectly round and bright orange.

And yes, I did just fat pumpkin discriminate.

They reportedly don't taste very good either...that's all I care about...
