A Tribute to a Special Observer Volunteer
On December 7, I lost a dear friend and the Observer lost a very special volunteer. Carol Martin passed away peacefully.

Pumpkin Pasta with Sage
|
It’s hard to imagine that cool weather is coming, but with that in mind, this month’s recipe celebrates the pumpkin. The mighty pumpkin is not a vegetable; it is actually a fruit. The name “pumpkin” comes from the German word “pepon,” meaning large melon. Every part of the pumpkin is edible, including the skin, leaves, flowers and stem. It is a great source of beta carotene, which gives it its orange color (just like carrots and sweet potatoes).
