How about a pumpkin decorating contest? they could be carved, painted, airbrushed, covered in vinyl or lettered. you could even make them in the likeness of your favorite letterhead. we could post the pics here and get a kick out of em. OR, we could just not do anything hahahaha. Mike

Dana Bowers used to have a melon carving CD I got from her(never used)but saw the likeness of our MAYOR carved in one at Jimmy Chathams "DIXIE LETTERHEAD MEET" Larry Elliot does some GREAT ones he gave one as a door prize to his 30 yrs.in business meet in Tennesse. Bobbie(duckette)paints "killer" foam melons from Micheals Art Supply. I always wanted to do one myself but.......... Do I smell another SWAP thingie like Terry did with the panels??? If so,maybe YOU can start the ball(melon)rolling

In the mood, eh? Just the smell of cutting a fresh pumpkin evokes my senses...think my pumpkin would also have this recipe inside!
Top Secret Recipes version of International House of Pancakes® Pumpkin Pancakes
by Todd Wilbur
During the holiday season this particular pancake flavor sells like...well, you know. It's one of 16 varieties of pancakes served at this national casual diner chain. You can make your own version of these delicious flapjacks with a little canned pumpkin, some spices and traditional buttermilk pancake ingredients. Get out the mixer, fire up the stove, track down the syrup.
1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with oil cooking spray. 2. Combine eggs, buttermilk, butter, pumpkin, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to blend ingredients. 3. Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and blend with mixer until smooth. 4. Pour the batter in 1/4 cup portions into the hot pan. Should form 5-inch circles. 4. When the batter stops bubbling and edges begin to harden, flip the pancakes. They should be dark brown. This will take from 1 to 2 minutes. 5. Flip the pancakes and cook other side for the same amount of time, until dark brown. (www.topsecretrecipes.com) Serves 3 to 4.
(you can eat while you carve)

This is the one Pking mentioned, which I carved at the Dixie meet at Jimmy's These kind of face carvings really look better with lights off and a candle inside the pumpkin.
