[Ellay]

Could I just say that my pumpkin soup is the dogs bollocks..


get 1 pumpkin, 3/4 potatoes & 1 onion & cut them all up.

stick them in a pot with a dash of oil for about 11 mins

Add a pint or so of vegetable stock, a bit of pepper, salt, & a pinch of nutmeg.

Let it boil then simmer for 12 mins.

Whack it all in a blender.

Put it back in the pot and add a bit of milk.

Finished.

People will love you, especially if they haven't had pumpkin before. (we dont tend to eat a huge amount of pumpkin in the UK)

Yesterday our department was taken out for a very nice lunch. For dessert I had pumpkin pie!

It's Thanksgiving this weekend here in Canada, so I'm sure there will be more pumpkin consumed.

I'm thinking about making some kind of pumpkin bread this weekend. If anyone has a great recepie, feel free to send it my way!

I've never had pumpkin. It's not very popular here. Our starbucks have biscuits covered with pictures of witches and pumpkins on the front for Halloween instead.
