Pumpkins Puppies and Recipes OH MY!

This last weekend Austin and I went to New Mexico with Sam and Kayla and we went to a family farm that had a pumpkin patch, a corn maze, all kinds of games and booths, a giant slide, a tire graveyard and all kinds of fun things to do. We got a pumpkin and carved Jack from the Nightmare before Christmas. I have pictures from it and of our pumpkin on my Facebook. It turned out really cute!! Sam and Kayla carved Hello Kitty into their pumpkin and they also got a pumpkin for their puppy Chomper, I'm not sure if they carved that one or not. Kayla and I made pumpkin seeds that turned out really tastey.
Sunday we went to a mall on the other side of town and then went and looked at a puppy. He was super adorable!!! Then we went gracery shopping at the Commisary. We had the hardest time trying to find the pumpkin so that I can make a Pumpkin Roll for Halloween at Sam and Kaylas. We stopped by Entertainmart on our way home and got the movies KickAss and Why Did I Get Married Too? Both were very good movies. Tyler Perry never fails to make a good movie.
Last night I made Caribbean Pork Chops which were very yummy. I've decided to start posting the recipes that I find that are really good. This one is a Crock Pot recipe.

Caribbean Pork Chops
2 tsp. ground allspice
2 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. ground nutmeg
4 tsp. dried thyme
1 cup scallions, finely chopped
6 tbs. soy sauce
4 tbs. fresh ginger, grated
2 Habanero chilli peppers, seeded and minced
4 tbs. garlic, minced
4 tsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
8 lean pork shops, 1 -inch thick

In a food processor, combine all herbs and spices with the scallions. soy sauce, fresh ginger, chilli pepper, garlic, sugar and salt, and process into a coarse paste. Coat the pork chops with this paste and place in Crock Pot. Cover; cook on Low for 7 to 9 hours or on High for 4 to 5 hours.
*I don't like spicy food so I didn't add the peppers and it still tasted really good. Since it was only the two of us we only had four pork chops so halfing the recipe works good.

Let me know how you like this recipe! I'll post more as I find more. =)
Enjoy. =)
