My whole family is at my house today. Mom, Dad, 2 sisters, 1 brother, 2 nephews, 1 niece and my brood...12 of us. Dad and Mom bought the little kids pumpkins to carve. G and F where the supervisors of this project. The result was very cute and they had a great time doing it. Everyone commented on the pumpkin seeds so I decided to try to toast them. I found a recipe that said to bake them at 300 degrees for 30 minutes. So I did. They were not done. I put them back in the oven for another 20 minutes. They still were not done so I turned the broiler on and left them in for 2-3 minutes and when I rounded the corner to get them out I saw smoke:( Oh well even the best ideas sometimes don't work out. The pumpkins are still precious sitting with their little candles on my front porch. Maybe next year the seed thing will work out. Then again maybe I should just go to Wal Mart and buy a pack... that way my house won't have this nasty scorched smell that is stuck in my nose and the air around me.
