VeganMofo 2010: Spoooooky (ok, not really)




Happy VeganMoFo!! I'm super-excited about this month (and a little overwhelmed, to be honest. I have a heavy workload on top of this!)  I am planning to blog every weekday with lots of yumminess, pretty photos, and fun illustrations.   Perhaps even a print giveaway?? Stay tuned!


This was the first time that I have carved a pumpkin in about ten bajillion years, so I hope you know how mega-excited I was (and hopefully Nik too, but I kinda made him play along!)  We had little pumpkins, because prices for the big ones in NYC are redonkulous. I miss picking pumpkins in a patch! Maybe I will venture out of the city next year.  Oh, and I will remember to pick up some apple cider to enjoy while carving too (and make doughnuts??) 


Mmmm, roasted pumpkin seeds. I don't rinse mine first, because I like all the dried pumpkiny goodness on the seeds.  I mix a little bit of olive oil, sea salt, and pepper and roast on 400F for a good 15-20 min. or so.  Nom nom nom.


I'm proud of my cutie-cat!  And Nik's is pretty hilarious cute. :)


Spooooooooooooky!  Hope you had a fun Halloween!

  1. Your pumpkins are AWESOME! This was the first year in a bajillion years that I DIDN'T have a pumpkin. The price of them was just insane and I couldn't justify spending that on a little pumpkin. It did feel weird not having one but I like to think that balance is restored through you.
    YAY MoFo!

  5. Your kitty pumpkin has to be the cutest pumpkin in the world! Nik's is second cutest.

    I have never carved a pumpkin as Halloween is not really big here but maybe next year I will give it a go.
