Beef Stew in a Pumpkin

http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art24229.asp

We just had this for Halloween dinner. The stew recipe was fine, though nothing above average. But it was visually interesting, seasonal and scraping the cooked pumpkin into the stew is really good. So here's the recipe, mostly for time/temp of baking the pumpking w/ stew inside--use whatever favorite beef soup/stew recipe you like. Apparently this dish is Argentine in origin and they make a stew w/ dried apricots and sweet potatoes as main ingredients. Reuel didn't like the sounds of it, so I went with a 'normal' stew.
