Wrinkled Pumpkin

The first reaction when my daughter saw this pumpkin was "Mama..Papa...look at that pumpkin.. there's a lot of boo boo! (Boo-Boo-a child's reference, or a reference to a childs, cut, scrape, or other superficial injury)"...lol! My husband and I were laughing out loud when she said it. We told her that it was not a bobo...lol!
You will most likely be tempted to select a pumpkin with a nice smooth skin, but beware. Smooth pumpkins are like that because they contain more water than the wrinkled, 'ugly' ones. The more water that a pumpkin starts out with before it is carved, the more water it will loose through evaporation after it is carved, and will shrivel. A wrinkled pumpkin starts out much dryer, so there is less moisture to loose after it is carved, and will naturally shrivel less.

Nakakatakot naman ang pumpkin na yan, puro warts, hehehe, lol. Hindi mo na kailangang i carve dahil sa itsura pa lang niya ay nakakatakot na. Nakabili ka na ba nang isusuot na costume ni Kesh sa Halloween? Thanks for the post. God bless you all always.
