Pumpkin Carving Party

Posted by Kalie on October 30, 2009

Last night I hosted a BYOP (Bring Your Own Pumpkin) Pumpkin Carving Party!  Out of the 14 people there, only three of us had carved a pumpkin before.  Since Halloween isn’t celebrated as much in Europe as it is in the states, many of my friends had never had a Halloween experience.  They didn’t know what they were getting themselves into when they came.  They simply showed up with a pumpkin and said, “Now what?”  I explained everything step-by-step.  When it came time to scoop out the insides, several claimed that it was the strangest thing they’ve ever felt!  It didn’t take long and we were all fully engrossed in carving our pumpkins.  Everyone’s pumpkin turned out really great!  We all had so much fun, and I’m so glad I could share this American tradition with my friends from all over the world.  To boost the Halloween spirit, I made some spooky dishes, including a dirt dessert and monster toes.  I think for this experience pictures speak louder than words.  I’ve posted a few here, but to see more you can check out this link: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2042164&id=1320870003&l=41c1942dda

Cheers!
