For the love of gourds!

Here at The Blunt Letters, we love Halloween or Samhain! The witch’s new year brings us many holiday traditions, including carving Jack-o-lanterns.

As we discussed in our recent episode The Mysteries of the Grand Canyon, we don’t always carve pumpkins (or other vegetables) due to the waste that comes along with the process. But this year we scraped our pumpkins extra well, carving off the delicious pumpkin flesh so we could cook it down to make seasonal treats like pumpkin pie or bread. Maybe both? We scraped out several pounds of pumpkin which Micaela transformed into puree.

Not to mention, we also toasted the seeds that we pulled from the pumpkin guts in the oven. Micaela masterminded a few seasoning combinations, which I will try to convince her to share soon. Needless to say, they were all gone by the end of November 1st!

We hope you like our jack-o-lanterns!
