	Do you cook your pumpkin?
	How do you deal with the old Jack O'Lanterns? Are they easy to cook? How? Is it superior to canned or prepared? Any suggestions for using it as more of a vegetable, as opposed to pies? Thanks By P T - Nov 2 - 5 new of 5 messages

	SW Mpls Halloween decorations
	If you live in SW Mpls, there's a house at 59th and Grand that has a LOT of Halloween decorations, definitely worth a look IF you live nearby.
