Fresh Pumpkin Means More Than Just Pies / Consumers can use fresh pie pumpkin many ways, says Nancy Moore, Ex­ tension Home Economist, and adds that Jack o'lantern pumpkins are not good for cooking "Toastc ted pumpkin seeds make a nutritious snack," suggests Ms. Moore. She says one should remove seeds from the pumpkin fiber, add lVi teaspoons melted butter and iy4 teaspoons salt to two cups of unwashed seeds, and then spread the mixture in a shallow pan and toast in a 250 degree F oven until the seeds brown lightly - about 20 minutes. "Also, the pumpkin can be washed, cut up, cooked and sieved, ready to use in a pumpkin pie. One can freeze the prepared pumpkin in pie- sized quantities for Christmas use. "The pumpkin's yellow flesh is an excellent vitamin A source for you and your family," explains Ms. Moore. To add variety to your vegetable menu, Ms. Moore suggets mixing mashed pumpkin and sliced cooked carrots. Pumpkin can be used in other dishes such as pumpkin soup, pumpkin pudding, pumpkin bread and pumpkin cake.

A few simple steps will guarantee that pumpkins don't become mush piles prematurely. For those who have grown their own, pumpkins should be harvested when they have a deep, solid color and a hard rind. If the squash can be pierced with the thumbnail, it still needs to ripen. It should be harvested before a hard frost (25-28 degrees F), leaving three to four inches of stem, and care should be taken to avoid cutting or bruising the fruit. The same practices apply when one buys a pumpkin. One should look for deep color, a three to four inch stem, and the absence of cuts and bruises. Immature, damaged, or stemless fruit won't keep long. Pumpkins should be stored in a dry, cool location. If kept between 50-55 degrees F and 68-70 percent moisture, they should keep for two months. They cannot be stacked on each other, since pile-ups decrease the squash's shelf life. Puhipkins decay rapidly once they've been jack-o- lanterned, ^o they should not be carved until shortly before the big day. A flashlight is a safer illumination source than a candle, and won't trash the pumpkin nearly as quickly. occasionally giving him a slip of paper with their phone number on it If this problem continues I'm afraid my husband will give in to one of the many temptations these women offer.

It was an accident and only that. The sin you committed thirty-some years ago had absolutely nothing to do with either your son's fife or his death. That was a matter entirely between you and God and had no connection with your son. Just remember this, that God loves you, and they both want you to be at peace and happy. So start being that way.

Hold Chinese Art Demonstration Hie Northland Area Art league will present Monica Liu in a demonstration of Chinese brush paint on silk Friday, Oct 23, at 8 p.m. at McHenry city hall. Miss Liu is an instructor of brushpainting at the Art Institute of Chicago, and has exhibited there in connection with the Korean exhibit last year. Born in Peking, China, she studied in Taiwan with the Master Pu Juh, prince of the former Manchu dynasty. Afterward, she studied in Rome and received a degree from the National Academy of Fine Arts. Miss Liu taught in Taiwan for eight years and has held 10 solo shows throughout Europe. She speaks many foreign languages. Authentic brush painting is a very anicent art, done on silk, with natural Chinese paint. The paint is not watercolor, but has water in it. The silk Miss Liu uses is ordered from Formosa, so the entire painting is done exactly as in ancient times. Refreshments are available. Members will be admitted. There will be a charge for non-members and students. I ran from grief; grief ran and overtook me. -Francis Quarles. Selecting quality fabrics is an absolute "must" when you want to sew top-quality, professional-looking gar­ ments, says Kathi Weilbacher, McHenry County Extension adviser. One way to insure the quality of fabrics you're considering is to keep in mind tips being taught through a neto 4-H clothing project for pre-teens and teens, she says. Three of those tips involve simple in-store tests con­ sumers can perform before making their final selec­ tions. Before buying a fabric, Ms. Weilbacher recommends: -Crushing a corner of the material and holding it tightly in your fist for a few seconds before releasing it. If it wrinkles in your hand, you know it will wrinkle when you wear it. -Measuring a small length of fabric with a ruler, stretching it length-wise, releasing it and then measuring it again. Then repeat the exercise but stretch the fabric crosswise. The fabric should snap back to its original dimensions. If it doesn't, you can expect garments made from it to sag and bag at the elbows and knees. -Unrolling the amount of fabric needed to make the garment you plan to sew and holding it up to the light to check for flaws, holes, thin areas, and heavy threads that are not intended as part of the design. If the length has flaws, perhaps the fabric store will trim off the section containing the imperfections to sell as a remnant and allow you to buy a flawless length further into the bolt. In addition to finding out more about fabric selection, participants in the new 4-H clothing proje&t learn to plan attractive wardrobes, to buy and make a variety of clothing and accessory items and to share their skills with others by giving talks and demonstrations. More information on the project is available from the M c H e n r y C o u n t y Cooperative Extension Service office. Time will soften thy grief; he that i s dead i s nothing. -Euripides.
