Pumpkin

Lindy gave me some
home-grown pumpkins

Jan 15th:

Steph told me about how she cooked a pumpkin in the microwave, which made me want to try the same.  How convenient that Lindy had given me some home grown pumpkin  :)

When microwaved,
the skin just falls off

 

I punctured the skin several times and microwaved the smallest one on high for 10 minutes.  The skin just fell off to the touch.  It was quite well cooked.

the flesh and the seeds exposed

I did a Sri Lankan-like concoction out of it - roaster coconut, ground mustard, curry powder etc.  It resembles a pumpkin soup.  I think I will share some with Eric later tonight.
