I cured ourselves of these unwelcome visitors in our NC mountain home by plugging in rodent/bug repellants that I purchased at low discount price from Big Lots. My husband, who teased me for my wasteful purchase, was certainly pleased to find they actually DO work! A bonus is, we no longer are overrun by seasonal ladybugs.Marty Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06299946612759066132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226876762714358061.post-90521492313523080772011-11-12T20:42:51.024-05:002011-11-12T20:42:51.024-05:00Aaah.

Yum! As for storing pumpkins, mine sat outside until the hard frost, then on the dining room table for several weeks. But I needed the table for other purposes, and the only other choice is the basement, which is overrun at this season by adorable little field mice who eat everything in sight.Eulalia Benejam Cobbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247079657985430691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226876762714358061.post-45200778020609124792011-11-12T18:17:48.006-05:002011-11-12T18:17:48.006-05:001.

I'm puzzled why you did this all at once. Pumpkins can be stored for weeks or months. Then you can use them when you want or need them, and in the form you want them (ie not pre-cooked). <br /><br />3. Simple roast pumpkin is a favourite winter vegetable here. Diced pumpkin, bacon, stir-fried in olive oil, with walnuts, feta and sage is lovely with the little shell pasta (or any pasta). Pumpkin in a vegetarian lasagne with spinach and feta, or in a roast vegetable winter salad with kumara (sweet potato), parsnips, carrots, potatoes, our version of yams, etc etc. Pork and pumpkin Thai curry(mmm. Pumpkin risotto. Pumpkin muffins. Pumpkin scones. A pumpkin and sweet potato mash (no butter/sugar/oil necessary, just a bit of salt and pepper) as a side with a stew or lamb shanks. The possibilities are endless. Mmmm, I'm quite hungry now.Malihttp://aseparatelife.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226876762714358061.post-45955293646037626432011-11-12T12:46:51.725-05:002011-11-12T12:46:51.725-05:00mrb, I bet I could even find conversion ratios on ...mrb, I bet I could even find conversion ratios on Google!Eulalia Benejam Cobbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247079657985430691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226876762714358061.post-69686204828356351192011-11-12T09:40:00.594-05:002011-11-12T09:40:00.594-05:00Maple syrup is superior in anything to sugar!Maple syrup is superior in anything to sugar!mrbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06223571140075151110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226876762714358061.post-84065436822579620162011-11-12T07:32:01.823-05:002011-11-12T07:32:01.823-05:00Bridgett, sounds like you've done this before?...Bridgett, sounds like you've done this before?<br /><br />mrb, as long as it doesn't have any sugar, right?Eulalia Benejam Cobbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247079657985430691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226876762714358061.post-52955328718236237392011-11-12T07:31:10.258-05:002011-11-12T07:31:10.258-05:00Jaimie, here it is:
