Making it up to Mr. Pumpkin farmer

We were out of town for Halloween this year. This must have disappointing Mr. Pumpkin. 

Today, I partially made up for it by making a salmon and noodle dish with lots of pumpkin seeds. 


Of course as Mr. Pumpkin will tell you, the pumpkin seeds have lots of protein, fiber, iron and magnesium and are a crucial component of America's nutritional health.

This is, in turn, a crucial component of our national defense. 

Thus price supports and supplementary funding for pumpkin cultivation is vital to our national defense.

You're not against national defense are you.

Upon the Return to the US

Panda and Grad Bear went with us to Spain, Gibraltar and Portugal. When they came home Jolene  wanted to talk to Grad and ask whether he had remained sober and celibate on the trip. Of course Grad took offense at the question, "Honey, how could you ask that, you know we are engaged?" Jolene accepted that 'answer'.

Panda was, in the meantime, working on depositing the cash and checks (those are deposit slips he is holding) he got from selling "Genuine Art LLC" acquisitions to people in Europe.  A lot of the sales were of paintings by important Christian Saints (Dominic, Francis) and the foreigners were delighted since they had no idea those Saints did art too. Our Spain, etc. trip is blogged here.
