Super Fog ~ Throw Back Thursday ~ Kristen ~ Mel & Jimmy ~ Kio ~ Stuffed Pumpkin ~ Dodgers ~ Pumpkin Day


Good 40º clear sunny morning. We hit 80º


Boy howdy, yesterday it started out a tad foggy but then by 9am it was like this...

The sun finally came out and it was another beautiful day.


Happy Throw Back Thursday...
Wow, 7 years ago! Alex, Kristen, and Jack.

Kristen struggling again with her cancer. Please pray for her. Cancer cells found in several places in her body, lung filled with fluid so she's in the hospital having that drained before she is put on chemo again. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ My baby girl doesn't need to be going through this as she approaches her 50th birthday! So, prayers and good thoughts please. xo


Special day today for my nephew Jim and his bride Mel....  HAPPY 26th ANNIVERSARY kids!


And a friend celebrating a special birthday, Kio Ebrahimzadeh. The big 47 today.

Since it's Pumpkin Day....
 
Friend Charline Aubin (1939-1999) gave me this recipe in 1994...
Stuffed Pumpkin

Select a small firm dark skinned pumpkin. Cut the top as though you were preparing a Halloween pumpkin. Keep the top.
Clean out the seeds and excess membrane. Salt well and set aside.
Stuffing:
(depends on the size of the cavity)
Ground beef, sufficient to fill cavity
Onions, chopped (1 per pound of meat)
Salt, pepper, sage, bay leaf, basil, celery salt, & garlic.
Brown beef and onions with seasonings. Drain excess fat. Rinse pumpkin cavity, dry, and lightly salt.
Fill with beef mixture and replace top.
Place in shallow baking dish, like a pie pan, and fill 1/2 full of water. Bake low and slow... 250º - 300º until you can press easily into pumpkin.
Serve whole pumpkin, scooping out stuffing along with the cooked pumpkin. Best served with potatoes and salad.
OMGOSH, this is really good!!!!!

National Pumpkin Day

It’s National Pumpkin Day! Pumpkins are the harbinger of the harvest season, appearing every year as the first sign of autumn. Did you know that there are over 45 different varieties of pumpkin? They range in color from white, to red, to even blue! 
Pumpkins can be grown on every continent except Antarctica, and the United States produces about 1.5 billion pounds of them each year. A Wisconsin farmer grew the largest pumpkin ever recorded. He used seaweed, cow manure, and fish emulsion to grow his pumpkin, which weighed a total of 1,810 pounds and was the size of a dumpster!
Celebrate National Pumpkin Day by carving a pumpkin in time for Halloween. Don't forget to bake the pumpkin seeds for a healthy, autumn snack!
