PUMPKIN SHOPPING

Submitted by: Richie Gobin

It is fun a 'shop' for a pumpkin together. To find just the right size & shape so that you may go home and plan your sculpture.

Keep in mind how fun it can be to place newspapers on the kitchen floor to capture all the gooey mess of a ripe pumpkin.

So, what I did was to cut an opening into the 'bottom' of the pumpkin and place inside, wrapped in a plastic moisture-proof baggie, a love note & small gift (necklace). My wife & I then would decide how to carve the pumpkin. First I told her, is to cut the top off and dig out the gooey seeds & meat of the pumpkin. 

We both reached into this wet mess, pulling together on the strands of seeds. Then I would pulled my hand out and tell her to finish pulling the guts out. 

As she reached in to complete the removal of the 'guts' of the pumpkin, she found the baggie. Just to see her smile as she discovered this gift, is worth the mess.
