So I had a moment of insanity and volunteered to do a halloween project (schoolwide) for the entire charter my kids go to. (grades K - 8, 230 total students) And I came up with a Pumpkin theme; everyone either carves or decorates a pumpkin and we display them at the school. Then tomorrow we will have a pumpkin "taste off" in the gym. (got about 50 parents cooking up pumpkin recipes)

I grew a TON of pumpkins this year - but because i got them in the ground late most were ripe but still green. So Im slicing them up like apples right now and deep frying them with salt. Then, while I was doing that I sliced one really REALLY thin and fried it like a potato chip and covered it in salt. Its REALLY good!!! Im deep frying about 20 pumpkins today and then will warm them up in the morning for the taste off lol. Another thing I like to do is taking the little tiny pumpkins and cutting the top open and stuffing it with butter, sugar, cinnamon, and a dab of butterscotch and just baking the whole thing (like a baked apple) but that would be hard to do for 240 kids.

Just thought someone might like to use their jackolanters for a tasty treat. They really are good!
