save your pumpkin stems!!!
aren't these wonderful? my love of all things pumpkin has really taken a back burner this season (along with exercise, proper sleep, human interaction...) but these are just about as good as it gets I say. This fabulous idea really makes me want to craft.

and while you are harvesting pumpkin parts, do roast the seeds for a delicious and Fibrous (capital F intended!) snack.
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Ingredients:
- Pumpkin seeds
- Cooking spray, olive oil, or butter
- Optional: Salt, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, or other seasoning of choice
Preparation:
Rinse pumpkin seeds. Use your fingers to remove all the pulp. Drain pumpkin seeds and discard pulp. Spread out on a cookie sheet to dry overnight. DO NOT DRY ON PAPER TOWELS.
Preheat oven to 250 F. Line a baking sheet with non-stick foil.
Toss pumpkin seeds in olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, garlic powder,onion powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, chili powder or your choice of seasonings. Toss to coat.
Bake about 1 hour, tossing every 20 minutes, until golden brown.
Cool pumpkin seeds before eating. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 months or refrigerate up to 1 year.
If you like your toasted pumpkin seeds extra-salty, soak overnight in a solution of 1/4 cup salt to 2 cups of water. Dry an additional day, then proceed as above.
Note: Pumpkin seeds are also known as pepitas.

you eat the whole thing, shell and all. Provide lots of roughage. Requires water. This recipe also works with Large squash seeds. I tried Banana Squash. Awesome.

I need more papers to litter my desk...
no usb cable required!
spits out credit card sized images, instantly. The film costs $1 per shot. The images have a white border and the color and flash look crappy-cool like Polaroids. For $80 I'm tempted.

100th post
in honor of my 100th post... an updated chicken picture! There's nothing like a shallow depth of field to set off a chicken...
clockwise: Rooster, Brigham, RNB, and Goldie. Just look at Brigham's beard. What a specimen! Not pictured: Blacky and Original Rooster.
They are all doing well and have provided us with a lot of entertainment. 3 very good little chickens are laying eggs (one per day each!), but 3 very bad chickens haven't so much as set claw in a nest box.
