It’s October! So it’s my time . . . because I’m a pumpkin.
Not only do I have a great curvature but I can delight in so many other ways.
The Obvious
1. Jack’o’Lantern – carved to frighten young children
2. Pumpkin pie – smothered in just-whipped cream to delight the calorie unconscious
The Less Obvious
1. Lasagna
2. Butter
3. Beer
4. Latte
5. Bread
6. Rissotto
7. Pickles
8. Serving bowls
The Least Favorite (if you’re a pumpkin)
Punkin Chunkin - the “sport” of hurling or “chunkin” by mechanical means for distance. Hurling devices include sling shots, catapults, centrifugals, trebuckets and pneumatic cannons.
Thankfully, from the creative amongst us, a new opportunity has emerged for the curvaceous pumpkin: Cheeks of Tan, instituted by a farmer not far from my pumpkin patch.
Cheeks that never burn in the October sun; they just glisten.
