Enter the Serious Eats Pumpkin Carving Contest
Last year's first place winner: "OMNOMNOMNOMNOM." [Flickr: shaggy67] It's time for our second annual Serious Eats Pumpkin Carving Contest. We take a break from eating pumpkins (in bread, chili, and pie form) to whittle away at them. To enter, just upload your photos to our easy-to-use Photograzing (you'll need to log into your Serious Eats account, or sign up). We want to see your orange masterpieces, be they funny, creative, or just plain freaky. Obviously we give extra points to any food-minded designs such as last year's winner: "OMNOMNOMNOMNOM." Deadline: You have until Sunday, November 1 at 6 p.m. (EST) to upload photos. We'll announce the winners on Monday afternoon (November 2). What we're looking for: Originality, creativity, and...Cook the Book: Pumpkin Baking
[Flickr: the_girl] Rather than picking just one book for this week's Cook the Book, we went with five. What do they all have in common? Pumpkin, butter, miscellaneous other ingredients, and an oven. Basically our goal this week is to make you eat more pumpkin desserts. We rummaged through our cookbook library to find some favorite recipes: Pumpkin Walnut Cranberry Quickbread from The Sweeter Side of Amy's Bread, Pumpkin Whoopie Pies from Baked, Ginger Custard Pumpkin Pie from The Sweet Melissa Baking Book, Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cakes from Paula Deen's The Lady & Sons Savannah Country Cookbook, and Spiced Pumpkin Muffins with Pepitas from Cowgirl Cuisine. Win a Cookbook We are giving away one copy of each of the...Blogwatch: Sweetly Sour Grilled Pumpkin for Thanksgiving
If you're anything like Nicole of Pinch My Salt, you may have bought a pumpkin this week with the intention of turning it into pie. But there you are now, standing in front of your open fridge, staring wide-eyed at the turkey, the yams, the potatoes, the corn, the green beans, the apples, the bread. What made you think you could make a pumpkin pie from scratch as well? Um, no. If you're overwhelmed or just want to try something a bit out of the norm this Thanksgiving, Nicole provides an innovative, facile, and Sicilian take on pumpkin for tomorrow: Zucca Gialla in Agrodolce, or Grilled Pumpkin in Sweet and Sour Sauce. The pumpkin is simply halved, peeled, grilled,...Serious Eats Pumpkin-Carving Contest Winners

We've already got a bunch of great submissions for the first annual Serious Eats Pumpkin Carving Contest, but here's a little nudge reminding you there's still time. Polls will close on Saturday at 6PM EST. So far, we've seen a cereal reference, tragic injury (how's that thumb?), and pomegranate sneak into the mix. After tonight's trick-or-treating, add your carving creation to Photograzing for a chance to win cookbooks and Viking knives....Blue Pumpkins, A Quest Fulfilled
Photograph from chippenziedeutch on Flickr In Talk earlier this week, JerzeeTomato asked where to find a blue pumpkin. After a three-day search, in which she checked back in on the thread to update us all, she finally found one at a small farm stand in Delaware. But not before she left a lot of us wondering what the heck a blue pumpkin looked like. The pumpkin photo above isn't from Jerz—I just wanted to highlight it to show everyone blue pumpkins. I've only ever seen them in photos. This one is from Flickr user chippenziedeutch. And here's a photo of a 'Queensland Blue' split open. The contrast of blue skin and deep orange flesh is quite striking....Halloween Breakfast

But chocolate gift-giving needn't be a cliché. This year, let's bake our sweethearts chocolate cakes and pies instead! Here are 8 delicious recipes perfect for celebrating your love (of chocolate.)
