Recyc-O-Lantern
I'm a big fan of reusing stuff so that it doesn't go to waste. Perhaps that's why bread pudding recipes are so nice, they turn stale bread into yumminess. Now the Ranger Rick magazine website is teaching kids how to make animal feeders out of their mushy pumpkin remains. What fun!
You can also use the pumpkins in pies and such, but I've had the worst luck roasting the seeds. Inevitably, I get distracted watching scary movies and they end up blackened. We've got lots of squirrels happy to eat anything we put in the backyard...
After the holiday, don't throw out your jack-o-lantern. Turn it into a feeder for backyard visitors such as squirrels, chipmunks, or birds.
