peter pumpkin open house

it is often difficult for me to explain what I do when I "work"... which isn't very often (here we go again)...
usually thrown into my explanation are key words like, "food", "nutrition", "wellness", and "special events".
I used to work at this facility 3 days a week, before married life, with the Wellness program.

here is a "special event" that I helped work in October. it's main focus is more on "fun" and "food" than "nutrition" (although whole grains were used in the baking of many of these goods). "fun" is an important part of "wellness" anyways!

this was made at paradise bakery and brought by a nurse on staff.
this is something really, really lovely that my friend, Cathy, makes and deserves to be the highlight dish for this post.
it's a pumpkin you see. but inside this pumpkin is....
...stew!
it is baked in that amazing looking pumpkin (and sweet skillet, but I digress). while serving, you are supposed to scoop out pumpkin with the stew as you wish - brilliant, lovely, and delicious!
pictured below are most of the other pumpkin goods that were served.
many people contributed
