Default Pumpkin?

I grew green striped cushaws in my garden this year (a long-necked
pumpkin) and instead of getting a bunch of small pumpkins like I
planned, I got 2 or 3 small ones and two big ones. *I just baked the
smaller of the big ones, then ran the cooked flesh thru a food mill. *I
ended up with 8 cups of puree. *It's yellow rather than orange, and my
dog says it tastes delicious (I gave him a piece of the cooked skin, and
let him lick the roaster.)

Now what? *Do I need to put it in a cheesecloth bag and let it drip?


I slice it up like French fry and fry it in olive oil.
