One, two, three....

pumpkins from the garden.  This is after the one I showed a few weeks ago.  So far I have cut one up and froze it. 

Those are my shoes for comparison, arn't they lovely...(no no not the shoes - the pumpkins).  I just love cutting through the pumpkin and all those lovely seeds all in rows in the middle.  To look at them gives me the shivers, but I pull them all out carefully and lay on a piece of kitchen towel to dry and we use again next year. 

Now what can we make?  Pumpkin pie, that sounds delicious.  Never made it before.  Nor have I made pumpkin soup.

I remember when I was in Australia, a few years ago now.  My friend bought this enormous pumpkin and set out to make the pumpkin soup.  As she was beating the cooked pumpkin in a plastic bowl, the bowl slipped out of her hand and the pumpkin mash flew up in the air, and landed with a plop on the kitchen floor.

She managed to save such a small amount from  the bowl, and we divided it amongst the three of us - I can still taste it - it was delicious.  Now I have my own pumpkins I must try some recipes.....
