The farmer told me that they start the pumpkin then put it in the mold for a week or so and then take it out so that it can get a good color.Butternut Squashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703748547994069092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809185710327113434.post-55255489022768733272009-11-01T03:55:19.293-05:002009-11-01T03:55:19.293-05:00These image collection is a lovely tribute to tru...These image collection is a lovely tribute to true Halloween spirit, wonderful storyboard too! I had to smile when I reached the half-eaten pumpkin, someone's having a feast, and I have never seen real pumpkin faces before. They must have created some see-through masks into which the pumpkin grew, or am I off entirely here?Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809185710327113434.post-12274758687222851912009-10-31T16:27:49.700-04:002009-10-31T16:27:49.700-04:00Love those pumpkins!

Click on The One-Minute Writer award in my side bar and give it a try.<br /><br />Hi Tulsa, I used to buy cooked pumpkin in a can and make the pie myself while I lived in Japan. Here is the address of a great imported grocery store: Kobe: Kitano -- Kobe Grocers. 078-221-2838<br />This small corner store looks like it's been transported from small-town America circa 1950. The shelves are jam-packed with American and European brands seldom seen in Japanese grocery stores. *I'm so glad that you appreciate your beautiful black hair!<br /><br />Hi Reya, thanks for the pumpkin carving info. Folks in Japan told me they do the same thing... they carve watermelons and make lanterns out of them. Somehow, I think it is a little different concept. I haven't really seen anything quite like Halloween anywhere else in the world. However, I have heard that visitors to our country are often terrified by the event if no one has warned them about it in advance.Butternut Squashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703748547994069092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809185710327113434.post-26894499043894571852009-10-29T08:44:05.709-04:002009-10-29T08:44:05.709-04:00I have a squash fetish, too.

I cooked one with risotto last night - delicious!!<br /><br />Hey you know why people carve pumpkins, right? Originally it was a western European way of honoring the dead. They used to carve turnips (I bet they were so cute!) The idea was that the dead could peer into our world for a little while through the carved turnips.<br /><br />Bigger is always better here ... hence the pumpkins. Does this idea travel through other cultures? Don't ask me!!Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809185710327113434.post-60915061335376470272009-10-29T07:54:49.977-04:002009-10-29T07:54:49.977-04:00Oh, how I love pumpkin pie...can't find any he...Oh, how I love pumpkin pie...can't find any here in Japan...so so sad.<br /><br />I love your geisha picture by the way!
