Smashing Pumpkins

I think there is a band called Smashing Pumpkins…that’s as much as I know about them.

My mom and I were discussing the difficulty cutting into pumpkins and squash. She mentioned that my Auntie Rachel used to drop them on the sidewalk to break them open.

Huh…

I tried it. Actually, I have tried it 3 times and had success all 3 times.

MAGIC! – maybe I’ve just been lucky, but the 2 pumpkins and 1 winter swash that I pitched onto my walk – they all split right in half.

This gives the whole “cutting up the squash at the risk of life and limb” a much better spin!
