“Peter, Peter”

Description from Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick: It's that time of year again. On Friday my class wrote their observations of 5 different kinds of pumpkins. This morning, I spent several hours cooking them. I plan to make pumpkin bread and soup tomorrow. Plus I'll bring some plain pumpkin in on Monday for the kids to taste.

    This is a blue pumpkin. In case you were wondering why I threw in that impression jasper.
    It’s sweet and nutty – reminds me of chestnuts.
