First the culprits. Two innocent pumpkins from Whole Foods.
Soup is first.
Chopped the top of one, ripped out the guts, poured some water and butter in…
Then stuck it in the oven.
Got on the computer and forgot about it for an hour (??) or so, came back and it was tender.
Put pulp in blender
Along with 3 cups of milk.
Chopped up some onion and blended the pulp/milk mixture, and got ready to add to pot.
Here comes the show-winner, TIME STOP ACTION VIDEO OF THE PUMPKIN SOUP!
It shows me adding the onion to a combo of butter/olive oil, adding the blended pumpkin/milk combo, and reducing it. I also heat up some store-bought butternut squash soup, as a comparison to what I did. It was overpowered by nutmeg and ginger, and was slightly spicy. So I liked my soup better!
Fits like a glove!
Now the Main Course, Chicken with Pumpkin Seeds! Took slimey pumpkin seeds
Added real expensive olive oil and salt
Dumped onto a pan
EXTREME CLOSE UP
Roasted until done
Grilled some chicken that had been masterfully marinating in something
Boom!
Next, the eliminator dish, Grilled Pumpkin with Honey! Sliced the pumpkins up like a punk on tha streetz,
Thought to myself, now what would make a pumpkin taste good. The only thing I could come up with was FAT, so I decided to add some, in butter form.
Not sure how much to add, so I decided to swing for the fences.
Stuck her on the grill
Sprinkled a little Ginger on her for that
je ne sais quoi
And let her roast!
She was looking pretty done here, so I decided to have a taste
No kidding, it tasted JUST LIKE crab legs. Crab legs dipped in butter that is. But it was tender, so I knew it was done. The skin held up well.
I had the FAT ingredient for dessert, but was missing the sugar. And I don’t own any sugar (or the preferable brown sugar). Closest thing was honey. So on it went!
The result was very pleasing; it’s hard to go wrong with butter and honey.
