The daughter-units have a friend at their school that treated them to fresh-roasted pumpkin seeds. The girl's mom (a gifted cook) is a first-generation immigrant (trying to get her to say anything is a lesson in patience. She is very self-conscious about her [lack of] English, and her daughter doesn't do the translation thang.) Hence, I was unable to figure out how she prepped the pumpkin seeds, from cleaning to cooking. Any help /would/ be appreciated. The Second-language-less Ranger

The Second-language-less Ranger Here's one I just posted over in RFC: DAK's munchy pumpkin seeds recipe 2 cups washed pumpkin seeds 1 clove garlic, crushed or finely diced 1/2 tsp finely ground black pepper 2tbsp salt 1tbsp brown sugar 1/2 cup water Mix it all together and let it soak overnight. Drain excess liquid and toss the wet seeds onto a cookie sheet. Bake at low heat (250F is good) for several hours, stirring occasionally to keep the seeds from sticking to the sheet as they dry. Bake until they're a golden brown color. Sometimes I add smoke flavoring.
