    Pumpkin Patch

    As a child I was psyched up, I couldn’t wait to look at all the pumpkins and carve it as a dinosaur. I literally was obsessed with dinosaurs until the age of nine. We parked our 1997 Corolla and started to walk to all the bright orange pumpkins. Something was strange from the looks of this place. All the pumpkins had white little tags on them but they weren’t dollar signs like you would expect. They all had words on them, I was only six at the time so I couldn’t read that much. A few words I read out loud from one of the white little tags but struggled to read the whole sentence. My mom was confused too, why would all the pumpkins have stupid little quotes on them she murmured. We soon found out shortly that this was at our advantage and not a disappointment. A tall black man with dreads came out of the trailer by the pumpkin patch and walked up to us. He asked “What can I help you with folks?” My mother asked him about the pumpkins and the quotes on them. He laughed, since it’s three days before Halloween were having a little contest. I looked up at him and…

    This is not your typical Thanksgiving guide. We are not the Food Network so we will not talk about how to cook a Thanksgiving feast. This is more about the behind the scenes footage of Thanksgiving. Instead of what to cook, I want to tap into those holiday nuances like your Mother and Aunt, arguing over who’s making the dressing this year, or the Uncle that has to bring a different woman to dinner every year because he is still trying to get under Aunt Margaret’s skin. You'll get rules on hosting a party, should you bring something if invited, how involved do you want your husband to be, and so on. Here is the rundown of the Do’s and Don’ts of Thanksgiving.…

    First of all, the size and shape of the pumpkin are very important. Be sure to choose the right size pumpkin to go along with whatever design that is going to be created. Keep in mind that the smaller the pumpkin is, the more difficult it will be to carve. If a small carving knife is not already on hand, it may be a good idea to purchase a pumpkin carving kit. A kit would come with two or three carving knives, a spoon to remove the seeds, and sometimes a book of stencil designs to choose from. The book of designs makes it easier to create a more memorable pumpkin, rather than just the standard triangular eyes, nose, and toothy smile. These kits are usually pretty inexpensive, ranging from three to five dollars apiece. Before even starting to carve the pumpkin pick a sturdy place to carve the pumpkin –preferably a kitchen counter or picnic table– and lay some newspaper down because things will get messy. After a pumpkin has been chosen, take a medium sized kitchen knife and remove the stem from the top of the pumpkin. An easy way to do this is by cutting around the top of the pumpkin,…
