What do you think Cham's Mom was doing in the past while Dad was off partying with L.E.G.I.O.N.?
In fact, Mom was pretty much every major corporation's aproned ambassador between 1929 and 1972. For example: Mary Blake at Carnation, Ann Pillsbury at Pillsbury (yes, we all know about the link between Proteans and Doughboys by this time, I'm sure), and so on.
Expect this to be a crucial plot arc in my forthcoming fanfic that crosses R.E.B.E.L.S. with Mad Men.
But first, I have pumpkin seeds to roast. BRB.

Pumpkin Seeds.
Click Here For A SpoilerFor each 1/2 C of raw pumpkin seeds, you'll need:
1 1/2 tsp. olive or other vegetable oil, plus a little extra for oiling the baking tray
1 tsp. Kosher salt
1/8-1/4 tsp. Cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. Coriander
1/2 tsp. ground Cumin
After you've scooped the seeds from the pumpkin, put them in a strainer and rinse under cool water to remove most of the strings, etc.
Shake off the water and spread the seeds out on a big plate or tray. Let them dry for at least an hour or two or overnight (ideally).
When ready to roast the seeds, preheat oven to 300 F.
Lightly coat a large baking tray with oil or non-stick spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, salt, and spices. Stir well to combine.
Add the seeds and stir well with a spatula or wooden spoon, so they are coated thoroughly with the oil-salt-spice mixture.
Spread them out on the greased baking tray and bake for about 1/2 hour, turning them every 10-15 minutes so they roast evenly. Seeds will turn golden brown on the outside, and the inside will change from green to brown as they bake.
Remove from tray to a large plate to cool the seeds before eating. (About 5-10 minutes.)

In Salem, Oregon and the surrounding areas, everything has been golden and flame for a week or so now. (I loose track of time, sigh.)
Our Sugar Gum tree, planted by the city long ago, and one of the few not already chopped down and gleefully tossed into a shredder, is just starting to turn color.
The leaves will still be dropping until Christmas, usually, and the 'spiked' nut/seeds will be dropping all year!
Do you have a receipe for roasted, or any other way, Sugar Gum Weapons of Destruction, cleome?

Sorry, Candle. I don't even know how to prepare Gingko nuts.
Our Hawthorne sapling looks beautifully red, but it's in the back yard where few people get to see it. We have a neighbor black cat who comes around and walks beneath the tree in circles. It took me some time earlier this year to realize that he uses the thorns to scratch his back, the lunatic.

As for pumpkin in either beer or coffee, all I can say is:

Darn, the bumping of this thread fills me with a craving for my aunts awesome pumpkin soup. (It has curry in it, I have no idea how curry and pumpkin can combine into something this awesome, and not explode on contact...)

I'm sure will be seeing some lovely autumn cooling here in Houston. Maybe in November. It'll be hot and humid here for a while yet.

Fall colors have been slowly trickling in for the past month - just here and there; it's still rather green. There are small sprinklings of leaves on the grass here and there. Some days are fierce summer heat/humidity, but others have an autumnal feel. especially toward dusk.
It's been a nice slow transition to fall.

Earl. Ugh. I meant to call my Mom tonight back East and make sure she's doing okay. Now I'll have to do it tomorrow morning.
