Are you inside my head? Or just a holiday fairy? You’ve provided me links to all the things I had on my mind this week …

Laura – I’m so glad, I’m hoping to get to each of these things this month.

That stuffed pumpkin recipe sounds amazing! The kind of recipe that makes me think I should go back to being a vegetarian.

I love these pumpkin recipes but I am having a hard time finding pumpkins! I wish Halloween didn’t signal the end of pumpkin season to my local merchants. I know other squash can probably be used but I love the vessel shape of a pumpkin!

I am so excited about the pomogranite seeds. Now I just have to figure out which direction to cut the thing in.
Also – that cheese fondue in a pumpkin thing looks absolutely amazing. I may need to have a dinner party simply to make that thing. So good looking.

Ever since I was in girl scouts I removed pom seeds by pulling apart the fruit gently and using my fingers. Never thought there was another way.

Although Savory Spice Shop is not in Seattle, they are infinitely better than Penzeys.

I love Penzeys (although the lack of apostrophe in their name has always bothered me). I have a local one too and their stuff is one of my go-to gifts. I just sent my (firefighter) brother a chili powder sampler for his birthday.

Savory Spice’s founders worked for The Spice House (Penzey family) and took many of their recipes when they opened their own business. I will not do business with them.

I had no idea, such drama!

I grow saffron in my backyard (in Seattle). The climate does seem to be perfect.
