Recipes with pumpkin??

Primrose

Not with pumpkins, but have a couple Crown Prince (grey skinned) winter squashes, as well as some Sweet Dumpling varieties in the garage to get through. Luckily all these winter squashes store well and one of our other favourite meals is to use them in a vegetarian curry with onions, butter beans and celeriac. I wonder how many households up and down the country will simply be tossing their Haloween-carved pumpkins in the dustbin today. What a waste!

Got pumpkins roasting in the oven atm along with the xmas cake (double use of oven you know!). I haven't got time this weekend to do anything with it so will sling it in the freezer and then use it as and when I need it. Got 2 pumpkins so no way they are going in the bin, although last year they did!!!!!! How times change!

We had pumpkin and blue cheese rissotto and are having pumpkin pie tonight.

My father has just informed me that he has 43 butternut squash in store so I expect we'll get presented with a few of them next time we see him.

Mines sitting in the fridge.... ate the seeds last night, dried them out and roasted in the over for 5 min sprinkled with a little salt, they were really good.

was just looking through the new posts and spotted this one - it made me laugh out loud!:rotfl:

I grew my own, which weighs 14kgs - as yet i haven't cut it up - we cheated and drew a face on the front last night (didn't get back from our hols until 4.30pm).

I have found a recipe for pumpkin and walnut bread which i am going to try - minus the walnuts! (i have all the ingredients then).

Happy to post/pm anyone with it if interested.

He sells most vegetables, its great. He is in the middle of a housing estate so he is a great source of fresh stuff.

The reason for the size is... DS is 12 and wants the biggest of everything. I gave him a budget of £3 but he got it for £2.20!!

I'm working on one!

I would have done it in advance, but I've had a job application to get off by a deaadline and lots of people I know with computer problems ...
