Hey! I also coat mine in olive oil and then sprinkle some garam masala, an indian spice on them and bake. It's a very different flavor. We love it.

When I was a kid we'd get all the gooey stuff off and put them on a baking sheet with a little oil and bake until nice and crisp. Can't eat them now but boy they were good then don't forget the salt!!

Do you eat pumpkin seeds in the shell or just the seed?

joann_fl - That's a good question. I was taking some to a Hallowe'en party but not carving a pumpkin this year, I didn't have any seeds to roast. So I googled roasting pumpkin seeds and that's when I found out all about seeds inside the hulls and pepitas which was all news to me. I did find a recipe about roasting just the seeds and so that's what I did. Here's the recipe if any one is interested. It is really good. If I'm doing the whole seed, shell and all I do the same as everyone else. But for the recipe the whole thing can be used as well. Here is a link that might be useful: Caramalized spicy pumpkin seeds.

That was where I found them, too, Kath, after much searching. AND they didn't have the cute, fancy topped ones, so I ended up at a sandwich shop and bummed about 100 from the owner, a friend. I got the extra long ones because the collosal olives are a bit bigger than the jumbos. I'm glad you like the snail recipe, it looks like more fun food and people really seem to go for that kind of thing. It's all about the presentation, I found that out with the penguins. No one had ever seen anything like that before. I'm still thanking Lydia for the Mexican roll-up link that led to the penguins in the first place. Get some photos of the snails, OK? I'd like to see yours with the babies!

Exciting times right Fred? Please take pics and share. Our own seedlings will be the most beautiful ever no matter what flowers they give us. Just like our children...and grandkids! LOL Talking about grandkids, my grandson (first boy in the family) will be born in just 2 months time. Now this excitement and anticipation is surreal! While I'm here in my pc, here's another new clivia that bloomed for me recently. I imported this from Japan last year.

I love to roast them simply with a little butter and popcorn salt.

I bought a bag of them at Dollar Tree and been eating some over my oatmeal. Adds a nice crunch and just a tad bit of saltiness.
