Many friends have asked what we do with our pumpkin seeds and just how big they get?
Voila. This is Hadley with the haul from one of our two pumpkins. We don’t eat the seeds (though you should totally check out this recipe for Qdoba’s Honey Chipotle Pumpkin Seeds). Instead, growers trade them like baseball cards and Jamie has been mailing his seeds all over the world.
Apparently Americans aren’t the only crazy ones.
A couple of years ago, my favorite cookie sheet went missing. Several months after the disappearance, I went into the storage room and noticed a glimmer of medal on top of a shelf. Upon further investigation, I realized Jamie had swiped my cookie sheet. The reason?
It was housing that year’s haul of pumpkin seeds.
Such is my life.
