Do Pumpkins Exist Outside Of These Fall Holidays?
by Steve West on October 13, 2008

They should. I love the taste of homemade pumpkin pie. I almost didn't marry Brenda when she told me she couldn't make one but I thankfully reconsidered. Here's some pumpkin/jack-o-lantern links:
Clever alternative to pumpkin autopsy - Painted Pumpkins
Good old-fashioned punkin' carving with unique results.
