The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated --Gandhi
The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than blacks were made for whites or women made for men --Alice Walker
But for the sake of some little mouthful of flesh, we deprive a soul of the sun, and light, and of that proportion of life and time they had been born into the world to enjoy --Plutarch

I recently discovered the unbridled goodness that is roasted pumpkin and I promise that you will never go back to canned!

Roasting pumpkin is easy peasy! I still have one left to roast – I made a bunch of apple butter yesterday, but I’m hoping for some pumpkin butter, too! Yumerrs!

You can’t go wrong with classic red toes! Love the shoes too!!! From what little we can see of the dress, it looks beautiful – will we get to see the full thing? Congrats to sister, and looking forward to hear how the pumpkin turns out. I’m feeling adventurous and toying with the idea of roasting new squashes/gourds (aside from butternut), so I can’t wait to hear your experience..

Gail - you were my inspiration for roasting the pumpkin! – I’m planning to use your scrumptious pie recipe – will blog about it too :)
shellyfish - I was amazed at how easy it was! It’s great when something easy gets demystified! You’ll have to share your vegan pumpkin butter recipe…
mihl - thank you, and the pumpkin’s roasted….I have pepitas on the go right now :D
Sara - thanks, and I’ll try to find some more photos that show the dress better – it’s a beauty :) I can’t wait to see what you do with those gourds, I love squash. I’ll have a big pumpkin post pronto!

going underground from the blogging world because of a wedding is A-ok, especially if you’re having fun :)
flashy nail polish is a must. I wear pink in the summer. Winter means bare toenails for me. hey, if I’m going to paint them, it’s outside on a lawn chair.
