We picked some corn!
We had the two smaller pumpkins on the bottom shelf of a cabinet in the kitchen. Then the larger pumpkin fell off the vine and we brought it into the house while my daughter was asleep. When she woke up the next morning and saw it on the shelf she laughed and laughed and laughed. Then she carried it around the house for an hour giggling the whole time. Why are pumpkins so funny? It makes me love the pumpkins.
I can't motivate myself to clean them out, skin them and boil them just to make some out of season pumpkin bread. Its so much easier to make zucchini bread. Maybe I need another use for the pumpkins. Roasted seeds are pretty decent. My husband thinks we should carve jack-o-lanterns and put them on the porch. Our neighbors love us.
I think zucchini bread doesn't even compare to pumpkin bread. They are a PITA to get open though. Now that my kids are off at college, I don't carve jack-o-lanterns anymore. It is just too much work. For pumpkin bread, I'd get out the knife.
