21st century pumpkin carving

If you’re still carving your pumpkin(s) for Halloween tonight, or still contemplating the idea, get thee to a grocery or hardware store and buy a set of Pumpkin Masters tools and patterns. I gave up long ago on using a kitchen knife on the tough surface of a pumpkin for fear of stabbing myself. Pumpkin Masters tools aren’t very sharp but are serrated so they cut right through, and they’re small enough to allow tracing intricate designs. I’ll put our best ones here at Rancho Roly Poly up in pics later on tonight.
