Any suggestions with what to do with this? Salt cellar in for scale. First time I grew one.

That's not an option. If I grow it I eat it.

Great looking pumpkin. Given the year we've had you've done well!
Pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup, grated as a filling in Russian-style mini pancakes, jam.... The list goes on. And there's no reason why you can't keep the 'shell' for spooky use, once you have scooped out the useful stuff.

Thanks I'll have a look at that when I get home. Started eating it raw last night. Virtually no calories and full of vitamins.

Careful with the flatulence, now. Steer clear of naked flames!

I had an unusual concoction last night. Baked beans, sprouts, stale Guinness and pumpkin. Corrib has nothing on me today.

Showed the pumpkin photo to OH. He said 'bxxxxy 'ell, good man!' I was going to make him pumpkin pie for tea, but the power has been out most of the day. Have to make it tomorrow.
Luke bought a lantern he made for us - a Minion one ( we LOVE the Minions) He was practising for one for his daughter. She loves the characters in Frozen! He is a brilliant daddy and a pretty good cook (chef?) so any disasters will be put to good use.
Let's know what you decide to do with that pumpkin.

I have been cutting it up and giving it to family and friends. Too bloody big. I have kept the seeds though for next year.

The pumpkin pie turned out OK, a bit sweet, but the cinnamon stopped it being too sickly. hope you enjoyed your pumpkin as much as we did ours.
I also made soup from the remaining tomatoes. Now THAT was nice!
