Well we do around here, that's for sure!
Bathgate has gone Halloween-mad, and with the inevitable outfits, candy and monkey nuts come pumpkins. They're selling 'carving' pumpkins at Tesco - real whoppers - for £1.50 each.
You know what we do with Carving pumpkins round here?
We Curry them.
And we roast them with just a spritz of olive oil to stop them from burning.
We really do! Don't bother peeling them, you can just scoop them out of their rinds once they're lovely and soft. And if there's room in the roasting tray, we may even put some chunks of swede in there too - it's all going to go in the same delicious soup. No salt or pepper, because while some of it's for soup, the rest goes into lovely soft spicy pumpkin muffins.
Pumpkin chocolate chunk muffins that we might eat naked with some Earl Grey tea before Judo, or we might leave them till they've been suitably attired for Halloween with some green cream cheeze frosting and happy little pumpkin heads.
And we might really push the boat out, and as we're having pumpkin muffins and pumkin and lentil soup, we might make some pumpkin and caramelised red onion foccacia bread to go with it.
Yeah! You know, I think we might just do that... (-_o)

Okay, you seriously need to email me this pumpkin curry recipe. I have a pumpkin sitting on my fridge that needs a home. Please oh please? :)
I'm coming to your house! No one around here appreciates pumpkins. They put the gourds up in their front yards for decorations... such a waste of yummy deliciousness. I told my neighbors that if their yard art goes missing, they should know where to look ;)
hehe I love the costume.
The muffin said my name. I'm sure of it. It was calling out to me.
Oooh, I do curried pumpkin too. It's yum. And there was some study recently that showed curry powder makes cancer cells commit suicide or something like that. So, more curry!
you always make the most deeelicious foodz, DJ! how the heck to you have time to create such yumminess?!? i love it all! pumpkin curry sounds divine, pumpkin lentil soup sounds like one rock'n combination (nice focaccia, too!), your spicy pumpkin muffins look perfect, and the frosted pumpkin chocolate chunk muffins - mmmmmmmmmmm!
