On Saturday night, some friends and I got together to have a pot luck sort of thing and to carve pumpkins. I am now convinced that doing those patterns that come with the carving kit is the way to go. They make you look like a professional carver. I went traditional jack-o-lantern and the rest of them put me to shame. Oh well, it was still good fun. I made a dessert: sweet pumpkin dip, eaten on ginger snaps and served in a hollowed out pumpkin. It was pretty good – fattening though. It’s basically 2 cups confectioner’s sugar, beaten into 8 oz. of cream cheese. Stir in a can of pumpkin, 1 tbls of cinnamon, 1 tbls of pumpkin pie spice and 1 tsp of frozen OJ concentrate.

I’m going to go eat in the Suwanee Room for lunch I think. Although, I’d like to check my bank account first, Bank of America is having issues. Oh well, seven bucks is not going to break the bank.

Here’s the pumpkin I carved. I have another bigger one to do this week too. (Yes, I took the pic in the bathroom it had just the right amount of light).
