Pretty as a Pumpkin

I've long said the pumpkin spice I make at home is so much better than any pumpkin spice item I buy at the store. But I buy fresh pumpkins only around Halloween. And I've yet to successfully grow a pumpkin.

On Halloween Day, we found half-price pumpkins at the home improvement store we had to visit for light bulbs. I bought the three ugliest pumpkins, and I put them on our porch in time for trick-or-treaters. I'm not sure anyone noticed, but I liked having them.

Now the pink one has been sliced, baked, blended and spiced. I even added mango habanero spice to the third batch. YUM!

I forgot to snap a photo of the pink pumpkin, which actually wasn't so ugly. I did snap the blue one, and it will be the next pumpkin in my oven!

  1. May I call your blue pumpkin Blue? It has so much personality, so I think of him as a he. He is beautiful!
