Okay...That does it....enough is enough. Its bad enough that summers barely over and they are already pushing pumkins...but if you are going to sell pumkins they should be Orange... ..You know.orange as in pumkin Pie.....Orange like the leaves of many trees in fall.. Orange is the symbol of Halloween..

and what are they selling...albino pumkins.....It just ain't right... Pumkins should be orange...Period.. I don't want a white jackety lantern>>I want one that lights up with an eery orange glow when you put a candle in it.

Jeepers, whats the world coming too!:)

Al - there's a lovely little rest home that I know of... I am sure they will arrange to have orange pumpkins for you, too... ;)

HaHa...don't get me started or I'll go off on my rant about Christmas in July through December and even worse, the politically correct Christmas issues. :(

But now the Albino pumpkin with red eyes...that does sound intriguing!

ps..I'll only go if I can take my discus and the kitchen has to make my eggs just like I want them...easy over, placed exactly 1 " from the edge of the plate and 3 "s from each other..The bacon needs to be in the shape of a frown..I won't go otherwise.:)

Uh... Al, two things.
1. It is still summer, summer ends September 21
2. Hmmmmm, odd that you don't seem to feel the same way about discus... <grin>

Larry,
' have you ever tried to carve a discus into a jackety- lantern? and then get the candle to stay? It ain't easy:) but once down it looks pretty good... Pbs and mellons work best.:D

ps..if you try it...watch out for the raccoons.:)

Better yet...just brew some homemade Pumpkin Ale (http://www.audioholics.com/showcase/DIY/PumpkinAleRecipe.html) and you won't care where those eggs land on your plate. :crazy: :D

Nice recipe there Kathy..I'll have to try it. I grow 2 of the 3 hops they use here.. I will have to down size the batch though.. 99 gallons is but much, even for me..I work in the 6 gallon range a batch.:)
