Food & Party: Pumpkin Carving Party

Friday night (10/19/12) I went to a Pumpkin Carving party. My friend Jen & I went to the PB Pumpkin Patch before to pick up our pumpkins. I couldn't believe pumpkins are $12 now! Inflation? Even so, I found the perfect sized pumpkin.

 

 

At the party we ate, drank and carved pumpkins. It was a good time with friends. I brought an appetizer to the party. The recipe is below.

 

My pumpkin found a girlfriend at the party...

 

 

A little tip: Today I rubbed the inside of my pumpkin w/ petroleum jelly to keep mold and dehydration away. I don't want a moldy Jack. It's a good little trick. You can also spray the inside daily with a bleach and water mixture.

Connie also made this Pumpkin Dip to bring to a party. She served hers in a pumpkin with apples and Nilla wafers.
