Pumpkin Carving

At 9 o'clock the other night, I decided that I'd carve a pumpkin. It was a no-brainer to use one of the HomestarRunner.com patterns, and I always loved The Cheat, so that was an easy decision, too. In typical bite-off-more-than-I-can-chew fashion, I chose to carve the pumpkin without cutting the pieces out completely. (You've seen it I'm sure. It's where the light just shines through the thinned out pumpkin wall.) This technique is difficult with the right tools & even more so without them. I ended up using a vegetable peeler, cheese slicer, and the back end of a spoon to get the job done. Some pictures, including the finished product, are here for your viewing pleasure.
