Saturday night, amid the season's first snow, I shuttled home with a pumpkin in tow; we were having a pumpkin carving contest at work.

The following morning, I began work on my jack-o'-lantern. I'd wanted to carve one that would be mean and scary looking and I must say that it didn't turn out half bad.
Next, I started sorting out the pumpkin seeds from amongst the innards. Tossing them in olive oil with garlic powder, seasoned salt and chili powder, I roasted them in the oven for about an hour. They made for a tasty treat for the week!

HALLOWEEN Day, our restaurant was quite in the Halloween spirit!

The owner even encouraged us all to come dressed in costume...

It was a fun day with cute, little trick-or-treaters coming in throughout the evening and at the end, I even won first prize ($100!) for best costume! Now the pressure's on to come up with a just as good (if not better) costume next year!
