For the love of Ollie
« on: October 31, 2021, 12:17:48 PM »
Some will know I give Ollie a spoonful of pumpkin puree each meal time due to his age with sensitive tum and medication he is on.

As always over the last month or so I have ordered weekly cans of unsweetened pumpkin puree - my delivery arrived Friday and what did I get a pumpkin whole not canned !!!!

Hubby was delighted at the thought of carving the pumpkin and lighting it......till I looked on line and found it had to be cut in large wedges roasted and then pureed.  I can honestly say I am up to my eyes in pumpkin :005:

The first batch is now in the oven for 45mins to an hour then cools remove skin and puree then freeze in patches - and so my Sunday goes....the planned apple cake has been put on back burner and the roast chicken will wait till later.

Oh the joys of owning - sorry being owned by a cocker spaniel

Cocker kisses and cuddles just make my day!


You are always with me darlings Jaypup and my precious Oliver you are so missed

Maybe you should‘ve just waited until it turned into a carriage and swept you off to find Prince Charming!!  :lol2: Hope its working its magic on Ollie anyway and that he appreciates all your efforts (although probably not!  : :shades:)

I never knew there was so much work involved in cooking pumpkin, I have a whole new appreciation for tinned pumpkin!  :005:

One year I grew them in my greenhouse, it was a rare hot summer, and they were huge, about four huge fruits. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup ad infinitude. Never again! I stick to the little individual squashes!

It least you got pumpkin as ordered despite it wasn't what you asked for.
I still haven't got me head round the fact that my rich tea biscuits were substituted with bourbon creams
