Art in the Ordinary (#2)

I've given up trying to eat all of the roasted pumpkin seeds left over from our four Halloween jack-o-lanterns. (I've decided to photograph them instead...)

Dixie Jane said...: Me too. I think those seeds look like bird heads.

All you lookers who never comment. Why don't you do it?; November 12, 2011 at 5:08 PM

I always manage to either undercook or burn pumpkin seeds when I try to roast them. Is there some trick I need to know?; November 12, 2011 at 9:17 PM
Anonymous said...: Michelle, dry the seeds first. Then toss in a little oil and roast in an oven no hotter than 350 for about 45-50 minutes. Works for us like a charm!
