Pumpkin seeds are a baking....

All right so even though the sun is still shining like it's SoCal up in the North the fall is still here in spirit. This was the first year in a long time I carved a pumpkin but more exciting was cooking the seeds. Now since I never do anything by the book I only looked up the cooking temperature and went to town on flavoring the delicious seeds up. My bombtastic recipe is as follows:

Ingredients: pumpkin seeds, garlic salt, crushed red pepper, Trade Joe's everyday spice, black pepper and olive oil spay or non-spray...yep it's that simple. 

1.Pre-heat oven to 275 degrees
2. Spay cooking sheet down with olive oil or coat your seeds some other way.
3. Place cleaned seeds on tray and coat them with spices to your liking. I did the whole tray with pepper and garlic salt and took a spatula and mixed them all around
4. Then only on half did I use crushed red pepper and the everyday spice I did on the red pepper half and another quarter of the tray.
5. I stuck them in the oven for 45-50 minutes.

Seriously it is that easy, I would try your favorite mix of spices or flavorings. I wanted to try cheyenne pepper but didn't have any one hand.

Occupy Sacramento

The young and the old of Sacramento peacefully march in downtown Sacramento to Cesar Chavez Park on 10^th street to bring a message to the government.

“We want money out of politics, we want people in office who have an agenda for the people, not for themselves,” said a spokesperson for Occupy Sacramento Jeff Neves.

The message is simple but clear, they no longer want people with big bank accounts only running for public office.

“It’s not about the left versus the right or my politics against yours, it’s about getting people in offices who represent what is best for the people,” said Neves.

A young man, Danny Garza, flew from the Occupy Wall Street where he has been since day one and wanted to help organize Sacramento and let them know what could be in store.

Garza said they were using laws from the 1800’s and arresting people without a verbal warning.

According to Garza the law from around the 1870’s that was being enforced was a group of two or more people are not allowed to cover their face and people were being arrested for this and also writing on the sidewalk with chalk.

The police were also verbally threatening the occupiers by saying, “We are going to take you in and throw you in with the whores and pimps,” Garza said.

He said, “ The more the cops messed with us the stronger we became, it had the opposite effect that they intended."

Occupy Sacramento had around 150 people present at 4 P.M. Thursday, October 6^th.

The occupation is peaceful and the focus is to remain the same as the other Occupy groups throughout the country, including Occupy Wall Street in New York, according to the press release.

“The more people we have here tonight the better off we will be,” said an occupier and legal representative.
