'It's October' On Black

This is some of the smaller pumpkins from the garden and only 2 of my favorite heart rocks from the river at our house.

I did a little tinting work in picasa on this shot.

Loo at you! Pumpkins AND heart shaped rocks. A woman after my own heart (no pun intended) This is part of your harvest? That garden really paid off.

Morning Jane
It really did-I didn't plant pumpkins!
These are all volunteer and we haven't picked the great big one yet!

It is much bigger now-Chris wants to leave it on the vine a bit longer (we're having a halloween party again this year)
I hope the rain doesn't bother it too much.
These will become pumpkin pies probably after they are jack-o-lanterns

Hotash says:

Morning giamarie - it'll be there soon enough-I was starting to worry a bit out here in Cali but we finally got our 1st bit of rain 2 days ago and the weather had cooled off thank goodness!
Glad for the visit and thanks for the fave!
Have a great Friday in Texas ~:-)

Do you like spicey foods? While living in Guyana I learned to make curried pumpkin, and it's FANTASTIC. Start by frying some onions, garlic and tomatoes with oil and curry powder in a largish pot -- medium heat. Cut pumpkin flesh into small cubes (the smaller the better -- about 1/4 inch works best) and toss them into pot with a generous helping of salt. Stir gently but regularly. After 15 minutes or so the pumpkin will start to sweat. You want to keep cooking until that water has evaporated off, and the pumpkin flesh has been reduced to a sauce (i.e. no longer in recognizeable cubes). A little brown sugar goes a long way if the pumkin isn't sweet enough. Feel free to add more cumin or some cinnamon or cayenne -- whatever suits you. Tastes divine over coconut rice, or with any type of naan or chapati. My mouth is already watering!

Hotash says:

HI pixieclipx-yes, these must be from the pumpkins we carved out last year. I am glad you like my rocks ~smile~

dangerouspenquin-wow, I must expand my pumpkin cooking horizons and I think I will start with this lovely recipe. I will keep you posted! Thank you so much for taking the time to jot it down for me~

Morning Farl I love Halloween because it's right next to my birthday so you are very right! Glad to have you stop by and thanks for the comment

Hotash says:

Hi Timmy, shelly, ccci, ozczecho, duszy, & Altus
I'm amazed that so many on Flickr are loving this-It was a last minute idea I had one afternoon while I'll was sitting on the porch trying to wake-up the other day. We had picked the pumpkins and moved them to the back porch the night before because a bit of rain was expected.

I can't wait to pick the BIG one!!!

Thanks for commenting and making this photo my most quickly interesting shot on Flickr!!!!!
