several gourds and dried cornstalks and set up a display by my front door.
Carin has her place decorated. I am going over for the party in an
hour or two. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

The pumpkin can be used to make soup (heh, canned pumpkin is readily
available and better by far than the pumpkins sold for display).
I like using sugar pumpkins because I like chunks of pumpkin in my
soup. Of course, I say that, but I happened to puree the soup this
time. :-)
My soup was made with that excellent chicken stock (it was like
thick, clear gelatin when I took it out of the fridge), some coconut
milk, ginger, garlic, onions, celery, homemade curry powder, fish
sauce, shrimp paste, and kaffir lime leaves. It's really yummy, but
I think next time I'll leave the lime leaves out until just before
serving; they add a bitterness if they cook for a while.
