I have a question for all you “gourd” people out there! I found the coolest looking pumpkin/gourde at the supermarket yesterday. It’s wicked looking! Honestly–it’s the most awesome thing I’ve ever seen! My problem…I don’t want it to rot out and die–because truly–I want it over and over and over!! Is there a way to make this beautiful ‘vegetable’ immortal? Ok, wrong term I know–but I want it to last forever!! Can I pull all of it’s innards out and cook it? Do you just empty it and let it dry? Do you clear coat it? See–I’m desperate! Is there anyway to save the amazing little creation forever?
