But then you can't make a puking pumpkin heaving it's seeds all over the yard!

Oh well.  We ended up freezing some of the pumpkin. I can decide later what to 
do with that last bit.  We ate some in a sort of Nimono soup.

      Title: Winter Nimono Soup
 Categories: Japan, Soups, Xxcarol, Pressure
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
    3/4 lb Peeled sliced Daikon
      3 tb Rice vinegar
  1 1/2 c  Dashi
    2/3 c  Shuyu
    1/3 c  Sake
      1 tb Mirin
           Optional, sugar to taste
    1/2 lb Carrots, sliced bitesize
      1 md Turnip, peeled, sliced
      8    Green onion bottoms (not the
           Green tops), chopped or
           Whole
 
  Best made with a stronger Dashi
  
  Place sliced daikon on platter and pour vinigar ovr it.  Let stand
  about 15 mins, then rinse and pat dry.  Add it and rest to a pot and
  simmer 30 mins or iuntil the veggies are your preferred level of
  'done'.
  
  Daikon is basically japanese radish, and it looks much like a very
  LARGE white carrot. Milder tasting than the normal American type so
  if you cant find it, use ours but only about 1/2 the amount and cut
  them in 3 parts removing top and bottom parts. Mirin is a sugary
  ricewine like item, and you can substitute 2 parts sake to 1 part
  sugar for something so close it is hard to tell the difference once
  you heat it and reduce it to 1/2 volume.  Light or sweet sherry are
  also suitable substitutes.
  
  Optional additions:  Potatoes, Bamboo shoots, Shiitake (a type of
  mushroom and yes, you can use normal ones too), hard cooked eggs (not
  advised for you), fishcakes, tofu, asparagus. Depending on what you
  add and how much, you have soup or stew.
  
  For a full meal, you would traditionally serve this with rice, a small
  slice of fishcake (omit for you until I find one fat-free but the
  size of the slice is about that of a single canned sardine and that
  is a suitable alternate and is lovely with hot sauce on it and set
  atop the rice), and some slices of fresh fruit.
  
  Americans may prefer to serve it with a rice cake, float some rice
  crackers in the soup, and have a green salad at the side.
  
  This meal is high in sodium so those who have been specifically
  advised to reduce sodium due to high blood pressure or other reasons,
  should avoid it, but otherwise it is *extremely* heart healthy. The
  added optional hard cooked egg would be but one egg, added at the
  very end of cooking. From: Carol Shenkenberger             Date: 12
