pumpkin fest 2011
It’s this time of the year again. Last Saturday, we had a pumpkin party. It was my first pumpkin party on German soil, and it was a blast. Tina and Beth made last-minute pumpkin pie (delicious), pumpkin soup (amazing/spicy) and pumpkin pizza (fabulous) and everyone brought a pumpkin and knives. After we were done carving the pumpkins, Beth roasted the pumpkin seeds and we had those, too. I feel like I haven’t used the word pumpkin quite enough yet. Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin. It’s a miracle that we didn’t all turn into pumpkins, I guess. Anyway, we had a great time, and the same goes for our friends who were there. I have a feeling that this is going to become a regular thing…
