Union Square Market was chocked full of pumpkins this morning as I walked to work, all ready for the weekend. All shapes and sizes, ready to be carved into any number of things and placed on peoples stoops and window ledges.
Luckily we got our pumpkins at Walmart when we had the truck, and last night we put the finishing touches to our entry for the annual Elmwood Pumpkin Carving Competition, we wanted to do something New York inspired and it didn't take Miss Turner very long to think of something. So here it is...
A genuine pumpkin burger!Everything's real... the burger was the biggest burger we've ever made, a whole pound of cheap mince, the gherkin's actually a courgette!
Unfortunately we didn't win, because it wasn't halloweeny enough (no-one mentioned that in the brief! Last year the winner was a PacMan pumpkin - that's not Halloweeny), but it doesn't matter because we had so much fun doing it.
We've still got a pumpkin left (a BIG one) so we're thinking of what to do for that, but I think it'll be a wee bit simpler, I'll post a picture of that one on Sunday.
The pumpkin is BRILLIANT!
ReplyDeleteI don't think we're having one, but I intend on marking this year's Halloween with a trip to see SAW 3D.
We're rather excited as we've been asked to babysit Elizabeth on Saturday evening. But we're hoping the doorbell won't be ringing too many times...
Looking forward to Sunday's entry on the blog.
