DUMROOT

Few days before halloween we had gone for apple picking, in the same farm pumpkin patch was there too, got to see many sorts of pumpkin smallest- biggest, different shapes, colors.......it was fun! After seeing all those orange colored eye catching pumpkins i picked one thinking of making Pie which Americans prepare during halloween. But somehow cld not do it ...poor pumpkin was laying in the kitchen corner for many days, rather i shd say months :) Thank God pumpkin won't perish easily.....finally ended up in making "Dumroot".
