Behold! My Jupiter pumpkin in all it’s glory!
Carving pumpkins is super hard you guys. I hacked away at this last night while we watched Donnie Darko. I think I could have done it better but I also hadn’t carved a jack-o-lantern in ages. Val came over after work and we discussed why we had never carved pumpkins at the old house and decided it was because we lived in Little India and there were no easily accessible pumpkins so probably we decided to drink beer instead.
I attempted to make vegan caramel apples this afternoon but I cooked the caramel waaaaaaay too long. They are more like apples covered in delicious but jagged, sharp sugar goodness.
And now I will listen to kids set off fire crackers for the rest of the night. Hope you’re having a good one!
maaan, I made the mistake of letting the kids pick their own candy out of the bowl when they came to the door and most of them would take one or two but I had a couple of kids just go nuts and grab a handful and then go back for a SECOND handful before I was like “whoa whoa, calm down there”. Also a firetruck just went down my street and I hope this is not an omen of things to come.
PS your pumpkin is completely amazing. We have a Batman logo and a monocle moustache dude but they are nowhere near that majestic.

yeah dude there are a bunch of bros setting off fireworks in the park. i am just hoping nothing sets on fire, you know, like our building. a firetruck and ambulance came by earlier but they were not setting them off at that moment so they left. good times. gonna be a long night.
