happy halloween! phil and i are getting all dressed up as a couple of fancy party goers who got murdered. i should probably come up with a better name for it, but that works for now 
today has been full of excitement because phil got to carve his first pumpkin (which we picked from crockford bridge farm) and i got to roast up some pumpkin seeds. i think the pumpkin looks pretty damn scary, don’t you?
and after scooping out and cleaning off the seeds, i roasted them in a hot oven for about 20 minutes with some oil and plenty of salt. yummy snack or a great addition to salads.
i usually associate halloween / fall / pumpkins with america, but i’m glad we were able to have a mini celebration at home today, followed by a fun party tonight in foggy londontown.
since halloween candy doesn’t really exist here, i hope all the americans reading this have an extra handful of candy corn for me
Hey! First time commenter, long time reader
Had a spaghetti squash for dinner last night and spent an extremely fun 10 minutes popping the seeds out of the pulp. Will try roasting them tonight- yum time!
hi hi lucy! let me know how you get on with the seeds. i think a combo of roasting + toasting (in a frying pan) make them winners, but i’d love to hear how you do it. thanks for reading
Mmmm… roasted them in a hot oven with plenty of oil and salt, as suggested! They were a bit squashed in though so didn’t cook very evenly. Will defo do it again though, particularly as it’s squash season- whoop
