So, we decided to paint the pumpkins this year. K has been chomping at the bit for a week to get these things painted. This afternoon, after all involved took naps, except Mom. We had the plastic tablecloth on the tables and the subjects, er, the pumpkins on the table ready to be analyzed, er, decorated.
I think we will be doing this from now on. Seriously, it took 30 minutes to an hour to do BOTH sides of the pumpkins, no pumpkin goo to clean up from everywhere, and we can stick the pumpkins back out on the deck tomorrow. Plus, we have like 300 bottles of acrylic paint, so every color imaginable to choose from while making our creations.
P.P.S. Trying a couple of new things in the kitchen, too. Cooked some apples in water and made apple juice. Tastes really good. So, I canned that. On the next batch, I will cook it down more, so that it concentrates more. Then, I also am trying to make pickled dill garlic. Everyone fights for the garlic anyway, so I'm trying it. We need to give it about 3 weeks before we can try it. Oh yeah, figured out why the refrigerator smelled so strongly of garlic. I had the garlic cloves covered in water in the fridge. Two of the cloves must have been bad, because they fermented. Um, let's just say, that is a really gross odor. The contents of the entire jar were flushed. Gaack.
