Thanks to my graphic teacher I am now
the new proud owner of a baby medium pumpkin. I am calling it that
because it’s not a mini pumpkin but it’s about the size of medium pumpkin so
it's not huge, but I love it. In my boyfriend words "its fun
size" just like me because it’s just the right size not to big not to
small. It's perfect, it looks like the perfect pumpkin it’s the right
color but it has a little spot on it that looks like a heart. My
grandmother once told me that she had made a pumpkin pie with a real pumpkin,
that was about 2 years ago when she had told me that. I beat that it was
actually more like 30- 40 years ago when she really did. At the time it seemed
really impressive to me that she did that but now that I have gotten more
experienced, I have now decided to take on this challenge myself.
I feel as if I can do this now maybe a year ago I would never be
able to but, for the last month I have been baking all kind s of squash;
butternut, spaghetti, and sweet potato. This was really fun for me one
because it wasn't too hard and I didn't have to do much with it. One
thing I learn is that it has an earthy taste but I like it but I don't know
much of it I can take with having butter, salt, and pepper. I feel that
they just need some spicing up sometimes or need to be thorn into a soup or
something with things that have other textures like; nodules and veggies.
I didn't know how to go about this at all. I thought maybe I could make the pumpkin like I did to the squashes or was I going to have to do something completely different. So I refereed to the world wide web to find my answer on how one cooks a pumpkin. A lot of the ones I came across I was going to have to cut it up and put into a pan and peel later and cutting into a hard uncooked pumpkin; one seem like to much work, and second I didn't want to menipulate my hand in the process. I then came a across the best way ever to cook a pumpkin on Heavenly Homemakers . Basically you put the whole pumpkin in the oven and bake it for an hour and a half. Then cut the pumpkin and deseed it and then peel it. Basically you do everything in reverse then all the other websites.
I am going to try this when I get home after I go to the store. I am making pumpkin cookies out of these. I will give a review tomorrow.
