Food For Thought:
With pumpkins of every shape and size spilling out of the fronts of the grocery stores this month, wouldn't it nice to have something to do with them besides carve faces on them and stick them on your porch? Years ago when our kids were little, a friend gave us a fun seasonal recipe called "Dinner in a Pumpkin". We will give you this recipe and a link to an alternate version and you choose which one you like best (I'm thinking the modern version is sounding really good so be sure to check it out). It might even become a Halloween tradition in your family!
Dinner in a Pumpkin (contributed by Kathy Webster)
2 lbs. Hamburger
3 Eggs
1 Tbl Oil
1-1/2 Tbl Chopped Onion
1-1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
2 Cloves Garlic
2 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Vinegar
3/4 Cup Raisins
1/2 Cup Chopped Green Olives
1 Green Pepper Chopped
1-15 oz. Can Tomato Sauce
Brown hamburger, onion, green pepper and garlic in oil with the spices. Add raisins, green olives, vinegar and tomato sauce. In bowl, beat 3 eggs then add the hamburger mixture to the eggs. Put the mixture into a small to medium sized pumpkin. Bake 1 hour at 350 or until the flesh of the pumpkin is soft. If you want to carve a face into the pumpkin, do it before you fill it, but don't cut all the way through to the inside. Serve meat over macaroni or rice.

While we have the holidays on our minds, here is a fun Punch recipe that would be great at any of this season's parties:
As we mentioned on week 38, Sister Julie White has a year or more supply of wheat that she is looking to trade with someone for an equivalent amount of canned 30-year-shelf-life rice (either from the Cannery or someone like Provident Pantry). However, we had an incorrect phone number. So if you are interested and trying to contact her, the correct phone number is (435) 865-1520.
