Post-holiday observation


I think if you gut a half a dozen pumpkins, rinse the seeds, douse them in canola oil, salt them, and toast them for 90 minutes then eat a handful they sorta get stuck in your intestine going around a bend and stay there all prickly and blockade-ish (which isn't something you want going on in your digestive tract) to where you feel kinda sick.

Is this a good reason to eat candy bars instead?

Put it in the archive of "Good Ideas Gone Bad". I've never successfully roasted my own pumpkin seeds either.

Actually, since I botch so many things in the kitchen, I have to clarify that they turned out wonderfully. I toast them every year and am getting bold enough to experiment with oils and seasonings. It's the quantity that becomes my problem.
Nothing new under the sun.
