How about if we used a big fat Green squash instead G. Now they probably sound more appealing. Haven't you ever had pickled watermelon rinds. Almost the same recipe.

You know what we outta do? Since DebnRandy and Kilr, and a few others end up at Niagra in March/April, we should have a "pumpkin products promotion happy hour"....pumpkin leather, with a sampling of pumpkin pickles, some pumpkin cheese muffins, washed down with pumpkin homebrew and Pumpkinwine....bring a jar of something for a tasting, and all meet up Sat night at the post dinner BS session.....so we can taste test while Nic Welty tells us how he inadvertantly crossed his 705 Stelts with a squashbug and created the super squashbug.............G
