Teresa asked me to carve the pumpkin today. I scooped out the seeds, and most of the sticky, stringy innards, before using an ice-cream scoop to get the flesh out. Looking forward to pumpkin pie, and pumpkin soup!
I prefer to go for old-fashioned simple designs. This is my most trad/goofy so far. I’ve kept the seeds for planting, and the flesh for eating. Wooo, ooo-woooh-oooh… ha, ha, ha, ha…
Of course I did some work in my shed. I got the heater I had off Freecycle a while back working, and I cut down my home-made laminated top for the ‘tool chest’.
I was hoping to do some trim for the shelves in the lounge, but I’ve kind of run out of steam now. I might still do it, later this evening. But at present I feel exhausted. Tired enough I could easily go to sleep here and now; it’s only 5.30 pm! I felt a bit off colour today, probably on account of the flu jab I had (as did Teresa) at the weekend.
Here are pics of the pumpkin flesh – still quite a bit – even after using half, or thereabouts, to make the soup. Which, though I say it myself, is delicious!
