Fried Pumpkin

The last pumpkin of the season made its way into the kitchen today. I sliced and diced it, put some flour, salt, and pepper on the slices (about 1/4 inch thick) and put them in a pan of hot grease and fried them bad boys. Fried pumpkin is good. I took some and made the wife a treat by putting some confectioner sugar and cinnamon on some of them. That will make your tongue slap the back of your neck. Ummmmmm, I can't wait till this years crop is ready. I also made some pumpkin chips. I thinly slice the pumpkin and bake the slices at 425 degrees till they curl up on the end and turn just slightly golden. I like mine still moist, but you can continue to cook them till they are dry. I like to put taco seasoning on them. Pumpkin is not just for pies. Try it, you'll like it. Maybe this year I can get Andy to fry some up at a tailgate. Hm, not a bad idea.

I have tried to grow pumpkins the last 2 years for Halloween. 2 years ago I harvested 2 and last year I couldn't get any females to grow (determined the seeds were gay).

I didn't realize you could harvest them this late in the year.

You winter them over to have to eat. Once you harvest your winter squashes in the fall, you put them in a dry cool place and they will last through the winter and beyond.

People don't use winter squash as they should. Soups, casseroles, and other dishes made from any winter squash is delish this time of year.

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
