On the news the other day, I saw that a farmer has been experimenting with creating pumpkins in the shape of Frankenstein's head. His creations are a hit and his pumpkins are selling for lots of money.
Heres a link to the article about him :

And a picture of his pumpkins:
Staying on the topic of pumpkins, I did a little baking this weekend. I made pumpkin white chocolate snickerdoodles. If you are looking for a good cookie recipie, and prefer a softer cookie, I recommend using this recipie.
White Chocolate Pumpkin Snickerdoodles (adapted from SallysBakingAddiction)
-1/2 C unsalted butter
-1/4 C light or dark brown sugar
-1 C granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons of pumpkin puree
-1.5 C all purpose flour
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1/4 teaspoon baking powder
-1/4 teaspoon baking soda
-2 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
-1/2-3/4 C of white chocolate chips
1. melt the butter, then combine the melted butter with 1/2 C of granulated sugar and the brown sugar. mix in vanilla and pumpkin.
2. in a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder and soda, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
3. combine wet and dry ingredients until combined.
4. fold in white chocolate chips
5. chill the dough for AT LEAST 30 minutes
6. roll dough into balls, and roll them in 1/2 C granulated sugar and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon.
7. bake for 8-10 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees
pretty easy!
Here is a picture of my finished product:
Hope this has inspired everyone to embrace the pumpkin season!
