When Good Pumpkins go Bad

The Partnerin has gotten into the Pumpkin carving thing the past couple of years, but being a good German she is not content to simply carve it for display. So she scoops out a good portion of it to make Kurbissuppe.

Unfortunately, scooping it out accelerates the process of decay since there is less structure there, so he didn't quite make it to Halloween.

I know how he feels.
