The bounty continues... the newest garden export is pumpkins! I was a bit surprised to see them this early in the season but it turns out that this is the time of the year for growing cooking pumpkins (as opposed to the jack-o-lantern types you carve at Halloween) the difference being that these are smaller and sweeter than the bigger version we are used to. We had two ripe ones so far, yesterday I used them to make a batch of pumpkin cookies, roasted pumpkin seeds, two loaves of pumpkin bread and a pumpkin pie! We had people over for dinner last night and I forgot to take a picture of everything beforehand so it will have to be a testament to their tastiness that this is all that is left!
