Since Trick or Treat was last night around our house, we carved Jack o Lanterns yesterday afternoon. I soaked the cleaned seeds in salt water for 24 hours and roasted them in a 250 degree oven for 1 hour 45 minutes tonight. A tasty treat for us all, and much healthier than candy. My Mom did this for us when I was a kid, and I love the smell while they roast.

Yea! I remember when I was in Level 2, about 5 years old, my teacher roasted some pumpkin seeds for my class! Great stuff.

When you eat roasted pumpkin seeds, you have to shell them like sunflower seeds, right? I mean, you don't eat the shells?

LOL

Appologies to any Aussies I might have just offended.

I can see it now...

Now these Skidmarks can be right tricky. But if you stay real close and hold the igniter in while yer mate makes a go of it you will see a gorgeous flight....

And ballistic recoveries - don't risk your rocket. If you stay under it until the last moment and step quickly aside - you can catch the slippery devil as it goes by....

I always have...

Roasted pumpkin seeds are great.. Put some Lawrys salt on them, even better...

I always ate the whole thing myself. I suppose you could shell them like a sunflower seed, but the shell is different and not really bad to chew.

Trust me, when you see this fly, you'll know it has seeds! Maybe not for roasting though.

It is that night again, Trick or Treat Eve. The pumpkins were carved and seeds carefully seperated. They soak in salt and Worchestershire even as I write this. Tomorrow they will roast.
Happy Halloween to all!

The perfect time to resurrect this old thread. Once again the seeds are perpared on Trick or Treat Eve. Happy Halloween to TRF.

Nothing like a twice resurrected thread, quite fitting with Halloween and all. Happy Halloween!

I think I'll pick up a spare pumpkin tomorrow afternoon and clean it, if I can find one. Yummy. I love pumpkin seeds.

Our pumpkin seeds are swimming in saline.... will make a great snack after T or T, with a little help from the oven.

Happy Halloween!
