Title: Pumpkins
Post by: maddafinga on November 01, 2009, 06:35:19 PM: Carved some pumpkins over the weekend. They didn't turn out perfectly, but end results were ok on the whole. Lots of work, but fun. I took the pics by turning off the lights and sticking my keychain led flashlight in the top and taking a pic with my camera phone. I know the pics aren't great, but I don't have a proper digital camera, just the cell phone camera. Anyway, here they are...

and I guess "frailer" is also the right word, since one of it's meanings is easily broken or destroyed; fragile.

Post by: maddafinga on November 01, 2009, 08:59:14 PM: Yeah, I just now threw them all away. They were still in good shape, I just think it's better to throw them away while they're firm and unrotten than waiting another few days till they're nasty. I like the carving, the cleaning out and scraping, not so much.

Ha! I wondered if anyone would catch that. I'm mostly a Dudeist, really, but I have a big and special place in my heart for the FSM, of course. I was a pastafarian all the way until I found out about Dudesism, for sure.
