I love pumpkins!

This weekend I spent a lot of time in the kitchen.  On Friday I cooked down 3 sugar pumpkins and scraped them clean. I ended up freezing 3qts of pumpkin puree and left one out for Saturday. 


 Saturday morning I cooked another 3 pumpkins and scraped them out.  I made a quick trip to buy foil loaf pans, and then I started making pumpkin bread. It was awesome, and believe it or not the bread tastes great!!
yes there is a slice already missing :)

After finishing the bread and feeding the pumpkin scraps to my chickens, I roasted pumpkin seeds. The sugar pumpkins evidently do not have great seeds for this but I did it anyway. One batch we roasted in butter and sea salt, the other in butter, garlic powder and Worchestershire sauce. Eh... I'll have to try my hand at planting pumpkins so I can get some bigger better seeds.

My meatie chickens are growing out pretty well.  I figure the weekend after Thanksgiving we might do our first batch of 7. I need to buy a scale so I know what we get for our money.

 We are now under a tornado warning, so signing off before we blow away.
