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!

...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!

So does the pumpkin have a hole in the bottom so the stew is touching the pan? It must, otherwise I am greatly confused. That looks like a lot of fun!
I think you cook the stew seperately first than stick it in the pumpkin that just has the guts taken out (so the bottom is intact) then bake it together. I'd have to look at the recipe for sure...
You know, I just happened to run across this post and realized it's at Mesa Good Shepard! I volunteered there 2x/week with the Stay in Balance falls prevention program (pilot study by a PhD student at ASU). I was involved there between March and July 2009 and worked with Cathy quite a bit. Small world!
