Clan Pumpkins (daylight Daryil Clan Pumpkin added)

[Sprocketsdance]

Ok.. I was bored so this is what I did. (Plus I suppose it does seem pretty darn neat )

Clan Daryil

Daylight Daryil Pumpkin

Clan Cyra

I do have daytime pictures of the Daryil's Clan symbol pumpkin but not with me.. will upload later

And with the Cyra Clan symbol I... sort of screwed up three times (one being not having a proper large pumpkin to work with) and the others had to deal with cutting it properly. To suspend the middle 'O' I used thread.  

.. and I had to cut out a piece out of the side of said pumpkin as a patch..  

As I'm sure most of you know Cyra's Clan is copywrite to Amber Williams and Daryil's is copywrite to Tapewolf

Looks pretty awesome Wuffy.  Great carving job and very good use of the thread to suspend the middle part on the Cyra symbol!  Very awesome effort!

Also:  I spots me a cute lil' Wuffy.

Ah... classic example of gourd-like squash art! Well done, Wuff! Did you have it out for Halloween? What would the odds be of someone recognizing the source material...

Thank you! I wasn't too sure about the thread.. but it worked

Also: o^_^o hehe, I wasn't trying to be in the picture.. but putting the pumpkin closer made it not look as good.. so I figured why not put in a bit of something ^^;

Thanks! =D I missed Halloween for both of them.. I think. Well.. the Cyra one I did today at least . And even if I had them out no one is around to see them I sort of live out in the middle of nowhere.

Nice.  I don't suppose you have a daylight shot of that pumpkin?

Pumpkin Chiffon Pie

I was going to do something like that.  My recipe is simpler, though.  I can't get pumpkin pack anymore, but if you take a medium pumpkin or two small ones, cut them into slices (with the seeds and pith removed) and bake them until they're really brown and the skin is starting to char in places, you can scrape out the stuff and mash it together.

You will need 1 tin of sweetened condensed milk (about 400g), 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of ginger and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.  This will make enough for about two 9" pastry cases.

Put the condensed milk into a saucepan and heat it until it starts to become more liquid.  Then add the pumpkin pack and stir it together until it has a uniform consistency.  Add the spices.
When it starts to boil, pour it into the pastry cases and bake it until it's browning.  Stick a knife into the centre and if it comes out clean it's done.  If not, leave it for a bit longer.

Oops! I finally got the daylight shot the other one was taken during the day.. just.. indoors... and the in-laws have very poor lighting >_< *excuse excuse* Ok here it is! \o/

Daylight Daryil Pumpkin

Oh, and pardon the.. slight curling of the rind since it was out for maybe a week good thing it didn't decay any faster.

Btw: thanks for the recipes!
