Notice the controversial gourd photo above? |
Pumpkin carving went on last night at my house. We had all sorts of lovely pumpkin guts strewn all over the bridge, but 4 pumpkins were made into pleasant little Jack-O-Lanterns. The red head begged for some roasted pumpkin seeds and being the wonderful mother I am, I indulged him. Truth be told…….I love pumpkin seeds. My mom used to make them all the time when I was a kid. More times than not it wasn’t actually pumpkin seeds, but Sweet Meat Squash seeds. Same difference. They are both just dang tasty.

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
Smoked Paprika
Drizzle a little oil on the seeds, and sprinkle with all the other good stuff. Place on a cookie sheet and roast in a 375’F oven for about 20-25 mins or until the seeds have dried out. Serve on top of salad or soup, or enjoy by themselves.
This is hilarious, I want to see the photos. Sorry about the “I was offended feedback.” People can be funny sometimes.
(It looks like the links to your photos aren’t working.)
I am anxious to see the photos! lol
I thought it was great! Very, Very funny!! You make me laugh.
Well, I think it’s awesome! Someone is just a little too uptight. You’re married for heaven’s sake! Love you website BTW!
I had that clipping with the (I think) Berry Cheese Crepes for years until I transfered it to Big Oven…and NEVER saw that photo in the background. Some people have too much time on their hands! tee hee

It was me, Lisa. Because I was jealous of the SHEER SIZE of your…gourds. I think you had them augmented and I wanted to shame you into admitting it.
I totally remember that and LOVED it. James should still run for President. Just sayin’.
Oh Lisa ~ “I love your guts” I wish I could be just like you!
I recently found your blog…love the recipes. But I really loved your raw honesty in the gourd story…hilarious! Aren’t people ridiculous?
Haha. I remember seeing the infamous picture on your fridge! What a funny story.
James for President!
Or. . . can he at least teach the folks in Ogden how to bake bread? It’s never as good down here.
