Did you know…

That’s a lot of pumpkin

As one of the most popular crops in the United States, 1.5 billion pounds (680,000,000 kilograms) of pumpkins are produced each year. The top pumpkin-producing states include Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and California.

Etymology

The word pumpkin originates from the word pepon (πέπων), which is Greek for “large melon”. The French adapted this word to pompon, which the British changed to pumpion and later American colonists changed that to the word we use today, “pumpkin”

Wouldn’t Linus be impressed

Weigh-off competitions for giant pumpkins are a popular festival activity. The world record held at 459 pounds (208 kg) until 1981, when Howard Dill (of Nova Scotia) broke the record with a pumpkin weighing 493.5 pounds (223.8 kg). Dill patented the seeds used to grow this giant pumpkin, deeming them Dill’s Atlantic Giant seeds, and drawing growers from around the world. Dill is credited for all of the giant pumpkins today, most of which are borne from crossing and re-crossing his patented seed with other varieties. By 1996, giant pumpkins had crossed the 1,000-pound (450 kg) mark. The current world record holder is Ron Wallace’s 2,009.0-pound (911.3 kg) Atlantic Giant pumpkin, which in September 2012 surpassed Jim and Kelsey Bryson’s previous 2011 record of 1,818.5 pounds (824.9 kg)

High fiber content helps to aid proper digestion

Canned pumpkin is often recommended by veterinarians as a dietary supplement for dogs and cats that are experiencing certain digestive ailments.

Chucking

Pumpkin chucking is a competitive activity in which teams build various mechanical devices designed to throw a pumpkin as far as possible. Catapults, trebuchets, ballistas and air cannons are the most common mechanisms. source 
 
and… some yummy treats from this decorative, entertaining and delicious big ole orange squash.

    I love all things pumpkin so this weekend might have to be a baking weekend.
    I just saw a pumpkin roll recipe in a magazine. They laid parchment paper in the pan and then piped on swirls in a darker colored batter (I think they added molasses to it but not positive) then they poured the cake batter on top. The finished pumpkin roll was so pretty with the darker swirls on it

    My order…a cup of coffee and one of each of the above. They all look so delicious to me. I like anything with pumpkin, and with your photography skills, they look irresistible!

    Oh, and how about 1 or 2 hours of conversation with the coffee and pumpkin:)
