Very seasonal......sadly mine is now in soup and in the freezer, ready for the cold months ahead. Thank you for sharing, one to put in the cookery book for next year.
I use a local farm (five minutes from my home) for all my seasonal fruit and veg. They also supply organic free range meat and you can see the animals running around....the other day a piglet had got into the farm shop and was munching on a apple. How cute.
Being a vegetarian he/she will not be on my plate......
Hope little one and your good self are keeping well and happy.....
that sounds really yummy! Thanks for the recipe.
Dont forget that the bigger the pumpkin the less taste it will have.
Hi Cheryl, soup is my favourite too - I bet you will be glad of it later when its winter and you come home from being out in the cold! We love going to the local farm shop when we are staying with little one's nanny out in Essex - I think having a little piggly running about in the shop would definitely be enough to turn me veggy again .. last time we were in we asked about getting a chicken and the lady said 'Oh, of course - how would you like it, dead or frozen?' and I went home and made a nut roast instead :-)
Hey, Mimi.. how are you? feeling any better yet?
Sandy, you are SO right about that! The muffins worked really well because they are nice and spicy. I usually get a little pumpkin but this someone got me this one was really grown for carving and it is very bland. Couldn't bear to waste it though.
