For dinner I made an incredible pumpkin soup (from Animal Vegetable Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver). You cook the soup in the hollowed out pumpkin. I substituted half and half for some of the milk, and pureed it all for a nice texture, then served it from the pumpkin shell with a ladle. The kids were impressed with the presentation, and we all loved the flavor. Might merit a Thanksgiving redo...
Sadly, I don't have any pics of our dinner, or the Spider Web bean dip and dark chocolate covered pumpkin seed-raisin clusters I took to work. At least you won't form a club hating me, or accuse me of being on crystal meth (which is what my coworkers jokingly said about me today. Guys! I was off today so I could do lots of cooking! No soup for you!). I do have obligatory Trick-or-Treat pics. Click to enlarge, so you can see detail like what kind of candy they got or Colin's toe worming its way out of his sock...

Not hate!!!!!! Pure envy. You are just too good to be true.
Looks like they got a good haul!
You are pretty amazing with your cooking. It's not just the time, you also have amazing creativity.
That soup recipe intrigues me. You cook it in the pumpkin? How does it not fall apart?
I'm glad to hear you made the soup and liked it - Barbara' Kingsolver's story about her first batch made me discount it as too fussy!
