Picking a Pumpkin for Carving
by
Kim Alvarado
Whether you're visiting a pumpkin patch or perusing the produce section, it's always fun to find that "perfect" pumpkin. Here are five easy tips for selecting a winner!
1. Look for a pumpkin that has a deep orange color.
2. Knock on the pumpkin to check that it is hollow (and therefore ripe).
3. Make sure the bottom of the pumpkin isn't soft and mushy! Also, the bottom should be flat so it doesn't roll.
4. Check that the stem is firm and secure. Never pick a pumpkin up from the stem! It may break, which leads to fast decay.
5. Avoid bruised pumpkins and look for a smooth surface if you're carving. It will be much easier!
Nearly 800 million people live on less than $1.90 a day. Rotary members are passionate about providing sustainable solutions to poverty.
The Rotary Four Way Test challenges us to take a close hard look at the realities in our own communities. In particular we must ask the question “Is it Fair to All Concerned.” As a Club, through our service projects and giving, we have dedicated ourselves to improving the conditions and fairness for all concerned. Whether these efforts involve providing opportunities for underprivilaged children, or building flags, or partnering on sanitation and drinking water projects in communities in need throughout the world, they all serve to provide for economic and community development. Thank you for being a member of our Sunrise Rotary Club and thank you for being concerned about and dedicated to improving the economic conditions for people in our community and throughout the world.
