Jack o’lanterns in Parakou
I had a good time in Parakou celebrating Halloween with many other volunteers who were in town for a regional meeting. A volunteer in a town a few km North of me bought a few pumpkins in a village nearby which specializes in growing them. These pumpkins were promptly turned in Jack o’lanterns. Not to be wasteful, this weekend I baked some of the flesh for pie (well sort of pie cupcakes) and plan on making a Thai pumpkin stir fry with the rest tonight.
