Boil the pumpkin until the flesh begins to soften and striates when you rake a fork across it. As the hot water breaks down the pumpkin, chemicals are released that give that sweet, pumpkin taste. Don't forget that while some strains of pumpkin are sweet, others are not and may require spices.
I don't advise cooking a pumpkin. It is cruel and the pumpkin will scream. Just make a jack o lantern out of it please!
Don't torture it that way. Have you never heard of cruelty to pumpkins? If not then you have been living in a cave somewhere.
Which cave were you living in? Was it in Afghanistan? If so you might have seen Osama there in your cave.
Even HE would not torture a pumpkin by cooking it alive I bet you!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
