Students have no excuse not to carve a pumpkin this Halloween, especially because Chef Richard Alford is telling us all the secrets.
If you see him on the Food Network this weekend, you’ll probably notice how elegant and intricate his designs are.
That doesn’t mean yours have to be that way!
Alford says to keep it simple and within your range of abilities.
There’s lots of good reasons to carve a pumpkin if you just think about it.
First off, they’re cheap and easy to find, and since college students are always looking for fun things to do on a limited budget, this could be the perfect hobby.
No one says you have to do it alone, either.
Share the experience with a friend and the two of you can spend some quality time together.
That’s what life is all about!
It also gives you a chance to get away from the tedious routine of homework to tap into your creative consciousness.
No one cares if you’re not a pumpkin carving expert.
Most people just enjoy seeing something different for a change.
There’s not a single person out there who doesn’t love playing with knives and fire either, so take that into consideration.
While you’re at it, check out Alford’s Garde Manger club, geared towards advising people who are interested in carving all sorts of delicatesans.
Most of all, just have fun and don’t spend your Halloween weekend doing nothing.
