	I didn't pay much attention to the recent pumpkin discussion in
net.cooks, and now I'm paying the price. 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.
