pumpkin party

the other day my dear friend ben had the lovely idea of hosting a pumpkin party. everyone was instructed to bring their own pumpkin and pumpkin treats were encouraged.



ben made, among other things, deliciously moist pumpkin proustian madeleines.
another girl deep-fried my first ever pumpkin fritters! wow.
i made a simple pumpkin loaf with cream cheese icing. can't go wrong.
ben and rachael hard at work
carving the pumpkins was so much fun. i realized i carve my family pumpkin almost every year, probably because i don't mind getting my hands messy and always have overly ambitious ideas. this year, in honour of canadian thanksgiving, i carved a turkey. :)
my finished turkey. gobble gobble.
                       

ben's boyfriend lucas  made my personal favourite - winnie the pooh and christopher robin! which caused me to sing this song non-stop while carving :)

they turned out so cutely :)

  1. That's a really great idea. Although I feel I might be a little pumpkined out after a party like that :) But still, pumpkin treats are always yummy!
