[ScareyBitchFeast]

well dd did it,

yep dh did it with ds1 and 2 the other night.dd and i were having a gossip in the bath so missed out on pumpkin carving.

pah

dh will start carving when he gets home in about half an hour

We've done two. It was my first time, I don't know how you're supposed to get all the insides out, it was very tricky.

Yuk, no - can't stand the smell of it in the house for longer than necessary!

Will do it just before dark tomorrow and put it in the compost as soon as DS has gone to bed!

ooh, i make soup with the carved out bits

i dried out the seeds to eat-is that ok.i wont die will i?

I'm getting Dh to do it tonight. I always end up cutting myself

i roasted the seeds,

they were quite nice

i do do cooking.roasting is cooking right?

don't understand question ?
roasting yes is cooking, not sure if they are edible raw,
wouldnt think so

Just finished ours too, I was a pumpking virgin but it looks really good am chuffed with myself now

pumpkin not pumpking virgin

bum maybe thats why ive got an upset stomach!

What do you use to carve out bits? I bent a tablespoon trying last year, and slipped and cut myself with a knife so not looking forward to this year...

Once you've scooped out the seeds and some of the flesh, make perforations in the design you want with a skewer then cut through with a knife.
I've got 4 to do tonight! and a spider and a bat costume to finish.

Sorry, I meant to carve out the flesh? I'm OK doing the face, but wanted to actually use some of the flesh?

DD has just taken hers to Beavers. I did a ghost one, although I messed up the first one and had to buy another.
It looks pretty good though
