Colorful foods of nature

Our pantry doesn't look good empty so we fill it with various colorful vegetables and fruits.

Many of these items will last for five to seven days. Some like the pumpkin would last a week depending on whether we get visitors -our cow friends. My husband and I are not big consumers of pumpkins. No.

The main reason we take them is the seeds. Yes. Pumpkin seeds. Of course, it's local and the price is reasonable so that is a big bonus. But it all goes back to the seeds.

What do we do with seeds, you may ask. Well, after washing we dry them under the sun. Once dry enough I dry-fry them. Once cool, we eat them. Yum!
