Pumpkin Guts
I used to think that gutting the pumpkin was the hardest and most unpleasant part, until I figured out the right technique. First, I use my hand only to grab as much of the loose stringy seed bits in the middle as are easy to grab. But I don't worry about getting all of it. Once I can't easily get more because it slips through my fingers, I switch to scraping and just aggressively scrape the inside, which loosens the rest of the seeds to be pulled out as well. And don't use one of those cheap plastic scrapers.
It would be way worse if I had to gut a pumpkin three times my size, like Bean, though.
