| My beautiful pumpkin |
Happy Halloweeeeen! There’s nothing like the ritual of
carving a pumpkin the night before Halloween. The smell, the slimy guts, the
funny faces and the seeds…..ohhh the seeds. That would be my favorite part
about carving a pumpkin- getting to toast up those hidden little seeds with
some melted butter and salt. Anything roasted in melted butter is going to be
good, but there really is something about fresh out-of-the-oven pumpkin seeds
that get me going. And going. And going back for another handful. They are salty, they are crunchy they are a
perfect snack! Okay I’ll stop about the seeds (since I may be the only one that
has a weird thing for them).
Go get into the mindset of the evil spirits (or whatever
the origin of Halloween is all about), carve a pumpkin, eat the seeds, eat some
candy and yell ‘SPooooooky’ out the window at some tricker treaters. Well at
least you know that’s what I’ll be doing.

| Wash the seeds in a strainer to get all the GOOP off |
 |
| Spread them on a baking sheet and toss with melted butter, salt and pepper |
 |
| Roast in the oven at 325 or 350 until slightly golden brown, moving them around every once and awhile |
 |
| YUMMM....eating time |
