Pumpkin carving time of the year again.

Last year's Pumpkins.

We have a tradition every year the we carve a pumpkin and leave it on the dining room table over the Halloween period.The one's above were done by Malcolm and the kids last year (these two are a bit creepy for my liking),  I haven't had chance to upload the photo  the one the kids and I did this year just has eyes and a nose and a huge smile.

Does anyone actually make anything with the scooped out pumpkin? I tried pumpkin pie years ago and I really didn't like it so we place the scooped out pumpkin in the bin. Just seems a shame to waste it.
