It’s Monday. Okay, so Spooky Season doesn’t officially begin until tomorrow, but I couldn’t resist picking up a pumpkin over the weekend and gutting him for his seeds! One of the things I like most about this time of year is making some homemade pumpkin seeds. So last night I gutted Jack while watching Outrageous Pumpkins on the Food Network. After cleaning up the seeds, I popped my heavily salted seeds into the oven at 275 degrees for roughly 15 minutes. As you can see, they came out looking wonderfully toasted and damn tasty! These oughta last me about a week, so they’ll likely be the first of several batches.

I also caught the Bears game against the Rams and something amazing happened—they won! They were a mess in the first half, but they got it together in the second and pulled out a win 18-24.
