Just a quick entry to shout for help.

My problem, or rather, Crocky's and my joint problem, weighs about 3kg, is orange and sits on our kitchen table.

So, what's a girl to do with a pumpkin?

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, and I know there are people out there who can do wonders with pumpkins.

We got as far as to think about pickling the thing. And, for the despairing wannabe-cook, there is always the Pumpkin Nook, they have a lot of recipes, but something in me fails to be able to imagine a Pumpkin Fudge. Anything else? Any favourites or suggestions you might like to share?

How ironic. I had pumpkins on the brain last night. Madison has made sure to point out every pumpkin we pass by when driving somewhere, so I'm starting to think that she is expecting a pumpkin carved and on her front porch. I plan to be researching pumpkins and finding the way to carve and what to do with the 'innards'. If you're still needing info when I find all that, I'll post with suggestions.

Maybe Rocky has the answer?????

Kürbissuppe! [livejournal.com profile] moonystone und ich werden gleich eine machen.

Rezept:

750g Kürbis
100g Möhren
50g Zwiebeln

zerkleinern und mit

2 EL Margarine (oder halt irgendwas Fettigem)

in einem Topf anbraten. Mit

150ml Weißwein

ablöschen. Dann

500ml Gemüsebrühe

dazugebn und solange kochen, bis das Gemüse weich ist. Alles pürieren und

1 EL Obstessig
1 TL Zitronensaft
1 TL Curry
1 Msp. Cayennepfeffer
100ml Crème fraiche

dazugeben. Mit Zucker abschmecken. Ich nehme immer ein bisschen mehr Curry und Pfeffer, relativ viel Zucker, und den Wein kannst du auch durch Gemüsebrühe ersetzen. Die Crème fraiche kann man weglassen, aber mit schmeckt es besser - natürlich kann man da auch Sojacrème nehmen ^^ Am besten ihr esst Baguette dazu. ich fresse diese Suppe, wenn ich mich mal aufraffen kann, sie zu machen. Sie schmeckt am besten mit Hokaido-Kürbis, aber andere funktionieren auch.

You muuuuuuuuuuuuust roast the seeds in the oven on a flat baking sheet with much salt. I have no idea of temperatures or cooking times but roasted pumpkin seeds are DA GOODNESS!

HEEEEEEE!!!!!

Well, if you wanna cook the thing, I would recommend either a pie of pumpkin bread. The best pumpkin bread recipe I'd recommend is this one:

Clicky!

Or perhaps you could carve a fabulous design using the Pumpkin Masters designs!

Whatever you decide, enjoy that pumpkin!!! And yes, ROAST THOSE SEEDS!!
