Jack-O-Lantern Crew

We designed and sewed costumes, created magical decorations, gathered ingredients we’d grown and used them to prepare the delectable feast.



The feast features pumpkin soup. We saved the seeds but right now we’re not sure what the cultivar was, but it is a great one! Small, very useable size pumpkin, thick and fine fleshed. Cooked with just barely enough water, then mashed smooth, chicken broth and milk added to thin, then spiced with caramelized onions, garlic, curry, ginger, basil, salt. Sides of pear salad (like apple salad but with pears freshly gathered from our trees) and a green salad. Undergirded with freshly baked whole wheat bread.
