My roommate just won a pumpkin in a "Guess the Weight of the Pumpkin" contest. Unfortunately, the monster weighs 70 pounds. I have two questions. (1) What should we do with the pumpkin? Do 70 pound pumpkins make good pies? I could imagine that an ancient pumpkin might be rather tough. (2) How should we do it? What conclusions were reached in the recent debate in regard to cooking time and methods? While we're on the subject, does anyone have any favorite recipes for pumpkin pies, cakes, cookies, bread, pasta, breakfast cereal, appetizers, soups, drinks, stews, goulashes .... (How far does 70 pounds of pumpkin go anyway?) Thanks in advance. Mail me any suggestions and I'll post a summary if there's sufficient demand. -- Steve Langer Physics Department, Clark Hall Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14853 {ihnp4,decvax,allegra,vax135}!cornell!lasspvax!langer
