Fall Carving Party

Ronit and Crystal - they look like happy housemates, but what's up with the knife?  Friend or foe?

No, he's not growing a beard, it's just a weekend thing.

George's first attempt at food carving was a great success, likely thanks in part to some coaching provided by Amanda

I always try to match my knives to my clothing, as to be particularly classy while carving.

Our friend Amanda wanted to having a fall party this year - you know, the kind at which you drink cider, carve pumpkins, make caramel apples, etc.  It was about 90 degrees outside and cider proved impossible here, but the rest of the party was a giant success.  Well... that depends on if you are a real stickler for tradition or not, I guess.  Apparently it's not pumpkin season around here, because I've been scouring the market for a month trying to find just one, and have not had any success.  So, watermelons were our "gourd" of choice in lieu of the real deal.  And you know what?  Watermelons carve up just fine!
