“Picasso, a Pumpkin, and Its Toasted Seeds”

For Blog

Do you like my pumpkin? It was designed by a talented artist named T. Kristian Russell. In fact, it looks a lot like one of his recent works, don’t you think?

It’s the first pumpkin I’ve seen with a legitimate nose. I think it looks like Picasso… a very snazzy pumpkin.

Once I pulled out all of the wet orange goo from the insides, I roasted the seeds. This is my favorite part of pumpkin carving… not the goo, the seeds. They are a divine salty snack, like popcorn, but better. I took them on the plane with me to remind me of home, even when I’m not. A little taste of home in my pocket.
