Perfect Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

1. Enlist two friends to help get the brains out of six pumpkins.

2. Wash and drain the pumpkin seeds. (Note: don't dry the pumpkin seeds. that takes too much time.)

3. Spread half of the seeds on one cookie sheet and half on another.

4. Generously drizzle olive oil on both sheets. (note: don't measure anything. again, who has time for that?)

5. On one sheet very liberally sprinkle garlic salt, on the other sheet, sprinkle cayanne pepper and salt.

6. Stir the seeds to make sure some seasoning gets on all the seeds. Then spread out evenly again.

7. Stick in oven at 300 degrees F and set timer for 45 minutes.

8. Meet and greet the people coming to the party. Make at least six rounds through the house. Enlist four more friends to help carve brainless pumpkins. Go outside.

9. Come back inside. See a neighbor taking the seeds out of the oven - five minutes after the timer went off.

10. Taste test. They're good. Put in bowls and spread around the party.

11. Wake up in the morning. Eat the last four pumpkin seeds and be glad you saved one pumpkin for yourself to carve.
