Looks good, Shooter! I'll post pics in a couple of days when we get ours done. On a side note, Stinky Coyote attempted the same adventure this evening and somehow managed to stab himself again! (jk)
Edit: I hope I didn't just jinx myself.........

Very nice!
I hate carving pumpkins but do it for my kids. Ours never turn out as nice as yours though...I'm a chemist not an artist!
Every year I also try roasting the seeds...that never seems to work for me either

Roasting seeds is basic
1 cookie tray
Line with parchment paper. NOT WAXED or TINFOIL
oven set 325f
seeds, rinsed off
lightly salted
Lay a single layer over the parchment paper
Let roast until just starting to turn colour - (roughly 20-30 minutes)

Haha... Thanks!! I'm hardly an artist but I cheated this year and downloaded some free patterns online. Turned out pretty good. There's a bunch available so we picked a few that were simple.

I made a batch of seeds up the other night that turned out perfect. Put your seeds in a plastic siplock bag( after washing and rinsing), pour in a liberal amount of franks red hot, add some cajun spice, some garlic powder. let sit for an hour or so. Bake in the oven at 175-200 for about 2-3 hours stirring and mixing lots.
Perfection!!!!!!

I always "fouled" mine up, so I tried your recipe.
I didn't have any parchment paper, so I sprayed with PAM.
They came out perfect at 20 minutes.
Thanks for the tip!

Hey, Shooter! Here's one I got in the good 'ol inbox this morning. I can't decide if it's funny or just plain sad though!

Here are our's.
I had 3 kids doing pumpkins. See if you can figure which one actually did his own, and which 2 were done by me but still claimed as their own by the kids.

BB416 BBM'd me and said that we're all getting a 10 day timeout for this one... Just cause he's cranky about his suitcase full of unfilled tags doesn't mean he should be allowed to play with knives!

Don't worry boys I got your backs! The minute I'm not here to mod you guys, he would be complaining that you are all too much to handle and probably would be begging for me to come back. LOL

My pumpkins from last year
I was busy this year and our son carved one at school but these are ones I did last year. I had intentions of doing some, even bought some. they stayed on the stairs. Guess we will just have to shoot them, thats fun too.
