Martha Stewart offers a recipe for a pumpkin stew that uses the pumpkin as the stew pot.
It’s a vintage Martha idea. It’s clever. It’s fussy — the recipe requires the oven, the stove, a roasting pan, an ice bath and 19 ingredients— and it’s unlikely to actually work for you. If you manage to cook all 19 ingredients without ruining any, the pumpkin bowl is sure to collapse just in time to pour all over the table and into Uncle Fred’s lap.
If you like gardening, you can learn some good stuff about soil this weekend . The best thing about the class is that it’s free — or maybe we should say dirt cheap.
Modern inconveniences. You know those faucets at the airports? The ones that are supposed to be “touchless” but actually require you to do bizarre contortions to get any water? Now you can enjoy those at home for prices starting at $736. For an extra $279 you can add an automatic hand-soap dispenser that squirts foam onto an embarrassing spot on your pants.
