Veggie by Season: The 2nd Annual Zorn/Wetherington Pumpkin Carve-Off

Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by Veggie by Season!

This blog was formerly A Year in the Kitchen. When I began blogging, the intention was to chronicle my first year in the kitchen as a married gal. I had so much fun that it lasted three wonderful years.

My life has changed a lot in those three years though, and so has my blogging style and content. I was a former vegetarian for 7 years, but began a bit of meat again in college and for two years post graduation. Over the past year, I began phasing it out of my diet, and went back to vegetarian in April.

I invite you to read the About the Author page for more information about me and my blog, just click on the link above!

Thanks for reading, Ash

The 2nd Annual Zorn/Wetherington Pumpkin Carve-Off

JJ and I carved our pumpkins tonight, as we do every year on October 30, which also happens to be Pumpkin's adoption anniversary! I've had my little Boo girl for 2 years! I can't imagine life without her :) Here she is, modeling the contestants....

JJ was unprepared, and was crazy google image man tonight, and found something he liked, but I had my design planned for a few days. He decided to go big or go home...
He decided he didn't want everyone to know which pumpkin belongs to him and me, but I think it's kind of obvious....

I would like to note I used only a carving knife, and he was able to get out his kit from anatomy class for dissecting cadavers... BIG advantage! But anyway... Please vote as to who the winner is. Last year I conceded from the race... but we're not going talk about last year's pumpkins...

Dustybug said...: Hey Ashlee! I don't know if you remember me, but I was in the same chapter of ZTA as you. I came across your blog from your status on facebook, and I have to say that I will be visiting often to steal some recipes! If only I can get my country boy to eat more veggies! Have a great one!; October 30, 2008 at 10:08 PM

Kelly said...: I'm creeped out by the cadaver kit as well. Bats and stars all the way. I'm jealous that you get to carve pumpkins. Because I live in a condo it's not practical for me.; October 30, 2008 at 10:32 PM
