We all know and love the pumpkin pie and it's goofy cousin the jack-o-lantern, but the veritable pumpkin can be used for all sorts of fun during the fall season. Native to the Americas, the pumpkin is an apt representation of the harvest: big, beautiful and round. Actually a member of the squash family and therefore a fruit, pumpkins of all shapes and sizes can be found across the nation this time of year tumbling out of grocery stores, baking in almost every kitchen and resting on front stoops from New England to Newport Beach. Look beyond the pumpkin pie -- here are ten neat things to do with pumpkin: 1. Face Mask: Pumpkin is a healthy food to eat, and its high concentration of vitamin A, vitamin C and zinc is good for sun-damaged, dry or sensitive skin. Take a couple of tablespoons of purred pumpkin, either cooked fresh or from a can (make sure to buy a can of 'pure' pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix). Add a touch of honey and a dab of milk, apply to face for fifteen minutes while you relax, then wash off and bask in your new glow! 2. Pumpkin Pot of Stew: Small sugar pumpkins make cute and seasonally appropriate bowls for serving a hearty fall stew. Just cut off the tops, scoop out the seeds, rub the insides with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake the pumpkins and their lids, right side up, for 25 minutes at 350 degrees
