Well if anyone has any good recipes for pumpkins, please let me know - I may have around thirty to use up! I decided to grow my own veg this year in my garden, and the pumpkins went wild! It's early days yet, but there are plenty of flowers and quite a few still-green globes forming. I've never cooked one before, they're not commonly eaten here in the UK and most poeple just buy one or two for jack-o-lanterns.

All the kids in my village seem to go trick-or-treating, it's becoming more popular. I have a giant, realistic hyena costume I had made for me which I'm going to wear, but as yet we don't know if anyone's having a party, might have to organise one ourselves.


Behold, the best pumpkin recipe, ever:

These are the pumpkin muffins they have at Disneyland; the recipe is in US measurements but I'm sure you could easily convert it. (Trust me, it'll be worth it!) I only make a half recipe of the frosting as I don't like alot of frosting in/on them. They're also good without the frosting. Here's what the ones at Disneyland look like:

Thanks for the recipe, Janelle! :)

I don't know any good pumpkin recipes, I usually just experiment a bit every time. :silly:

Pumpkins here also aren't really commonly eaten by people - most who grow them usually grow them for feeding animals.

To see a world in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

I find that a little odd. But then again, it's the comlete opposite over here - we love our pumpkins! The only thing we don't do is make them into Jack o' lanterns becasue we don't celebrate Halloween.

Well, that's at least the case here for my region. In the continental area they are more popular. I assume it's just a cultural thing as people generally stick to food which is common for their region.

Ah! I'm so excited! I love Halloween! I'm not sure what I'll be doing this year, but it will likely involve going to see a performance of 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' at the local theater and possibly some fun dress up. Last year I went as one of those creepy old porcelain dolls with the gothic lolita styled dresses.
