Curry flavored Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Looks like those carving pumpkin can be put to a lot of edible use! The kids and DH like roasted pumpkin seeds and he had asked me to save the seeds. I did. They are a great snack especially if you are watching a movie like the latest Bond movie for instance.

This one has a few of my favorite actors the movie I mean like Judi Dench, Ralph Fiennes, Javier Bardem and of course Daniel Craig. All of us enjoyed the movie while DD2 took a nap in the theater! Javier Bardem gave her the creeps. The last movie I saw of Bardem was "No country for old men" where he was at his creepiest best. This bond movie just adds to that. But he is no doubt a fantastic actor.

That was just a figure of speech, you can't take outside food inside the movie theater so you buy a big tub of popcorn and settle down to watch.


While we are on the topic of watching, do you watch 'The Good Wife'? That and 'Last Resort' are two of my favorite shows. Any other interesting shows that any of you are watching?

Now for the recipe, this is how DH makes it.
