Previously I have done all my pumpkin blogging on the jewelry site– obviously wildly thematically inappropriate, so I’m moving it on over here, thus bringing to a screeching halt the appearance that this is going to be a marketing research blog only.

I have 7 winter squash and pumpkins of varying sizes left over from my autumn squash-buying frenzy. I took on the warty green hubbard yesterday. Luckily I went straight to the throw-it-off-the-front-porch method of opening, because even AFTER I had opened it, I stil couldn’t cut it with my butcher knife. I roasted it in two very large halves,a dn when I scopped the flesh out, I could see that the hard shell was nearly a half inch thick. No kidding. Kinda scary.
