Now I have to degrease the stove.

The benefit of giant pumpkin growing: large carving canvas around Halloween. This was a smaller one (~350 pounds vs 689 one that was his best).

When my father used to grow giant pumpkins for weighing competitions over twenty years ago (very niche hobby, I know), this was his preferred weeding method. Much easier on the back.

That's dangerous in the kitchen. Could easily end up in the deep fryer or with grill marks across your face.

Nothing wrong with a quality store bought salsa! My ambition from the autumn harvest pays dividends in the depths of winter.

Fat Tuesday is a few weeks away but local bakeries in WI are starting to stock pączki, the rich, jelly-filled doughnuts typical for Lent.

The Polish bakers tried to use all the ingredients that were forbidden during Lent.

I'm here for them, as I love doughnuts.

We saute it in oil and garlic, then I have to squeeze all that extra water out, mix with a fenugreek cheese mornay, and portion.
