This being the "Worst thing you ever cooked" item, I assume resp:23 is
drift.

Re back-there: I use "pie pumpkins" and "Jack-o-Lantern pumpkins"
interchangeably in cooking. They taste pretty much the same to me.
Haven't had any luck getting the seeds to cook up into something edible,
though. I'm told there are other types of pumpkins that are grown for
their seeds.

Out of curiousity, why aren't you ssupposed to let the pumpkin seeds get
brown?
Last time I did seeds, I did it at 350 for about 35-40 minutes, with a
little oil in the bottom of the pan, and got the seeds nice and toasty brow,
which tasted much better to me and my roomie than the non-toasty brown ones
that my parents did. My dad preferd them too. (My mom wouldn't let him do
them brown though...sigh :)

See 'what am I'. Problem is that it is easy to burn the seeds, and if some
get a little brown others may turn black. If you stir very frequently, or
shake, it helps.

Joy of Cooking says that the seeds will brown a bit after being removed from
the oven, so you shouldn't let them get brown while still in the oven.

Sounds like a recipe for an explosion. ;)

I wouldn't think that microwaved pumpkin seeds would explode. But things in
the microwave generally don't get crunchy, and pumpkin seeds are supposed to
be crunchy. Dunno. I toast walnuts in the microwave from time to time, but
that's partly because I'm not a big fan of the flavor of toasting.

the response way back there about rum and alka-seltzer reminded me
of the time some drinking buddies and i ran out of orange juice, so
we made screwdrivers by dissolving tang in straight vodka.

One of the worst things I cooked lately was refried beans in olive oil. Believe
me, they don't go together.

That is odd, I have seen recipes for French provencal beans with white beans,
tomatoes, onions, garlic and lots of olive oil. Maybe it was your
expectations of a different taste?

Well, refried beans and white beans are quite a bit different.....

Not sure which conference this belongs it, but at Kiwanis we just got in a
top of the line Epson printer that rattled. Jim turend it upside down and
got a cascade of short pieces of spaghetti, a bit of linguini, and some small
black ojbects that turned out to be sunflower seeds. A mouse nest? We had
a pair of speakers once like this.
