hi usmcsgtwife,
Yes we carve pumpkins for Halloween. I like to soak the pumpkin seeds in a brine overnight, and toast them in the oven the next day. These make very tasty snacks. They are very healthy too.
Before and after Halloween, I will make pumpkin pies and cookies. Pumpkin bread is good too. But the seeds always get toasted for my personal snack.
Happy posting..

Nope we don't carve pumpkins, kids usually come around and smash them, and I don't want to have to clean that up :(.

Here in India, halloween is not quite popular, but pumpkins are used during the festival of DASARA. People put coins inside pumpkin, put some flowers and drop it on the floor in order to brush away the evil spirit during dusara festival. Otherwise pumpkins are used to make SAMBAR, a liquid dish for rice, sweets like PETA and HALWA are made out of pumpkin.
