Plate 0′ Shrimp

Going into the home-stretch for Halloween, we purchased four pumpkins at Safeway this afternoon. Had to dig through some smashed, rotten and disfigured pumpkins to find four of suitable size and shape. We go for the small jack-o-lantern size. No huge pumpkins this year.

These particular guys were marked at $6 apiece. That’s the Safeway Club Card price. Fortunately for us, we got the small ones out of the big bin, and the cashier rang them up for $3 apiece, which I think is a more reasonable price for a Halloween pumpkin. Carving will commence shortly, and then we’ll have jack-o-lanterns and baked pumpkin seeds.
