What happens when you plant a seed?
Well, if you live in Arizona as I did most of my life, the seed grows an inch or two, gets a good sear on all sides, and then it gives up the ghost.
Here in Connecticut, however, if you plant a seed, sometimes it turns into FOOD!
Tate planted this bad boy and viola! A pumpkin!

good job remembering to water it Tate! It looks great. I think it might be bigger than your head. That is impressive.
Nice going, Tate! You may be a farmer when you grow up. We planted seeds on Saturday. Who knows what we get!

I just found this on Mindy Evans' blog. She's a great cook. Maybe you can make Tate's pumpkin into these:
Pumpkin Waffles and Cinnamon Syrup
Waffles:
2c. Flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
2 c. milk
3/4 c. canned pumpkin
1/2 c. oil
3 eggs
Heat waffle iron. In large bowl, combine dry ingredients for waffles; blend well. Add milk, pumpkin, oil, and eggs; beat 1 minute. Bake in hot waffle iron until golden brown.
Syrup:
1/2 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. apple cider or juice
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tbsp. margarine or butter
In small saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon; blend well. Stir in apple cider and lemon juice; cook over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat; add margarine andstir until melted. Serve over hot waffles
