Seriously, if I hadn't gotten married on the anniversary of the day we met, my wedding would have been a full blown costume party on Halloween, with us dressed as zombie bride and groom.
Having been sick all week with the Vulcan Flu (so named because of the Spock Death Grip on my shoulder/neck area) I would have been better prepared for this. As it was, I had to go to 3(!) different supermarkets to find a pumpkin. Once I found The One, I took it home to chop up. I find that if you make the initial cut into a bigger shape, working the rest of it is much easier.
Scoop out all the inner crap and set aside. I used it to make my pumpkin appear as if it throwing up (see picture above of the finished product).
The seeds I saved for roasting. You know, so they could sit in my cupboard of shame with *last* years pumpkin seeds I roasted.
Get rid of everything that isn't seeds, and wash.
Dry them all.
Preheat your oven to 350, and get a try with tin foil. Put the seeds on there, and toss them with a bit of EVOO. You could just use sea salt, which is always yummy, but today I decided to shake it up a bit and use Herbamare Spicy mix. We are nothing, if we aren't spiSAAAAAY.
With this stuff, you don't need any salt. I also added a bit of chilli powder and some paprika for color. Again, because we are spiSAAAAY.
Toss it all together, and roast in the oven for 15 minutes or so, tossing every 5 minutes. Keep it in a single layer.
Yum.
Maybe they WONT die in the cupboard of shame after all....
