#pie pumpkin

[supersciencegeek]

Went to the farmers market at the Common Ground Fair yesterday and, among other things, got pie pumpkins. So today I'm making pumpkin puree.

First, cut open the pumpkin and remove the seeds and stringy bits. Then cut it into chunks.

The steam it until a fork can easily go through.

Then let it cool, scoop the soft insides off the rind, mash it up with a large fork or potato masher.

Then I portion it into 1-cup servings, and freeze until I'm going to make cookies or bread or whatever.

I got 5 cups from 2 pie pumpkins.

Sing a song of terror,

A dark day now to die;

Four and Twenty Monsters

Baked in a pie.

When the pie was bitten,

The Creatures start to scream;

Wasn’t that a perfect dish

To have on Halloween?

[ID: Two pictures. In the first, a picture of a metal wire basket as seen from above, filled with white pumpkin seeds. In the second, colored dots varying in shades have been edited over the seeds in groups of twenty, creating a random mosaic effect. End ID.]

So if my math is correct, there are approximately 460 seeds here, all from one pie pumpkin!

And this isn’t even including the seeds I already took to use for seed bombs!

So one pumpkin? = almost 500 new plants!

And yet the seed companies want to convince you NOT to save your seeds. Why? because then you won’t be paying them every year for new ones!

Save your seeds, and the only time you’ll ever have to buy more is when you want a new variety!

Did some pumpkin painting with the Fam yesterday. Despite not being artistically motivated for quite a while, instead of taking the simple route, I basically went all out and attempted to paint Madame Leota from the Haunted Mansion!

I’m surprised I got anything out and it felt nice to paint something since it’s been a long time. As far as I know, this is the first pumpkin painting I’ve ever done. Of course I believe I can do better, but for now, I’m satisfied with the results (although it’s kind of peeling on small parts of it).
