Driving down the road in upstate NY, late afternoon sunlight, couldn't resist the urge to stop and take pictures!

Let's see more pumpkin shots here!

Yeah, of course, lol

The hubbard squash may not last long out there... I wanna eat it.

Aliantha · 10-16-2007, 07:12 PM

Imagine when it comes time to eat those huge pumpkins. You'd really have to like the stuff wouldn't you.

DucksNuts · 10-16-2007, 07:21 PM

Oh, I just dont see pumpkins like that over here.

We just have pumpkins about LJ's head size.

I like the green one, never seen one like that.

What do you guys *do* with so much pumpkin?

jinx · 10-16-2007, 07:27 PM

You're looking at it. They'll sit there till they start to rot.
We get the LJ-head pumpkins to carve. They're not good for much else, good pie pumpkins are smaller (and its easier to use canned).

DucksNuts · 10-16-2007, 07:31 PM

Is pumpkin pie a sweet thing or a savory or what?

jinx · 10-16-2007, 07:35 PM

Sweet, but more savory than sweet potato pie...

DucksNuts · 10-16-2007, 07:37 PM

I dont get pumpkin pie, how can pumpkin be sweet?

Do you like have it mashed for dinner as well? or roasted? or soup?

jinx · 10-16-2007, 07:43 PM

I made pumpkin soup a couple years in a row for Thanksgiving. My daughter wants to make it this year and serve it in little pumpkins.... she must have been watching Martha Stewart or something...

Occasionally soup - mostly just the pie though. It's sweet because you put lots of sugar (and cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger etc.. in it).
It's pretty common here to roast squash with brown sugar, maple syrup etc.. You guys don't do that?
