Show us your pumpkin

[RebeccaMumsnet]

Have you been growing a whopper of a pumpkin for Halloween? Or shop bought is fine

Do you and your DC carve a Jack O' Lantern every year? Or do you just want to show off your artistic brilliance?

Upload a picture of your pumpkin here for us all to howl ogle over and any top carving tips/pumpkin recipes you have, do share.

I was sooooo proud of mine....until I saw the rest! Gives me inspiration for next year though!

I printed off a template, sellotaped it to my pumpkin, went round outline making holes with a kitchen skewer then joined up the holes with a little screwdriver.

And the kids from last year, have spent all morning making this year's, I now have a bruised wrist from hollowing them out!

[ZombTEE]

These are really good!

That's mine. I have no idea what that indentation between the eyes is...

[AmberLeaf]

These are brilliant! and pictures in posts wow! is that just for this topic?

[AWimbaWay]

Whilst on the topic of pumpkins, I've just made soup with the mountains of scooped out flesh but it tastes really bland. I added onion, coriander, coconut milk, vegetable stock cube, a blob of butter and pepper, what else can I add to give it more substance and taste?

DP did this one freehand last year - I was vair impressed! We had no candles in the house, hence the upside-down lamp sticking out of the top!

[OttersPocket]

Oh bugger - that didn't seem to work.

[OttersPocket]

Oh, it did work - argh! Ignore me [hconfused]

[AWimbaWay]

i didn't think mine had worked at first either OttersPocket, obviously takes a while for the pics to load.
