Alternate O’-Lanterns
Irene ruined this year’s pumpkins, but she doesn’t have to ruin produce-carving or Halloween entirely. For instance, here’s how to make apple-o’-lanterns, watermel-o’-lanterns (swap in cantaloupes or honeydews), grape-o’-lanterns, squash-o’-lanterns (amazing), and tomat-o’-lanterns. What else? I know from experience that strawb-o’-lanterns are tricky but not impossible (use LED lights). Hard boiled egg-o’-lanterns? Banan-o’-lanterns? Mylant-o’-lanterns?!
