I don't cook much pumpkin or squash. Family never did care for it. I suspect I did not cook it that well.

I will try that soup recipe as I so happened to be looking at all the different pumpkins, winter squash when I went to the store today. It would have been nicer to have a market lady explain how she makes her soup while helping pick out the perfect one!!

Then we bought a French pumpkin, took it back to our apartment, cut it open, dried the seeds, and (don't tell anyone) brought the seeds home. Now we have three French pumpkins growing in our garden. I hope there will be more, but they may not have time to fully develop. But I am loving those three we have.Marilyn Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-39768759210173069832010-09-28T17:19:04.140-04:002010-09-28T17:19:04.140-04:00October is my birth month...I think that is why I ...October is my birth month...I think that is why I love fall so much.

Your photos certainly whet my appetite. I have been to Paris twice, but never out into the countryside.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619199535376925989noreply@blogger.com
