Well that didn't last too long now did it.
Last night I got to cooking and totally failed to make my promised blog post. I don't have much to tell you this morning so I guess I will tell you what I was cooking that made me miss my appointment with you.
First the hens have begun laying eggs and I had been purchasing hard boiled eggs for breakfast at work so I figured it was about time I hard boiled a dozen eggs for lunches and such.
Next we had some onions , carrots and celery that were going soft in the fridge so I decided to make a big batch of veg stock. We ended up with 4 liters or so of stock. Gotta love having stock on hand.
Then I had some pumpkin puree I was cooking down with spices and brown sugar in the crock pot. I am really happy with it.
Next I decided to see how the Musquee de Provence pumpkins were doing so I started cutting up and processing one. I roasted around a quarter of one in the oven and steamed the other quarter in the microwave.
So that was last night, two stove burners, the oven, the microwave and the crock pot all rocking in the kitchen.
Now I have to get changed and go to work to get some rest.

Sounds like a busy night of cooking. You have inspired me/us to have pumpkin soup tonight...with homemade stock of course. Thanks.:)
Sounds Great Mr. H.
I haven't made pumpkin soup yet this year but I do have a bunch of stock and some purred pumpkin so the work is mostly done.
Speaking of stock, we have some boiled pig carcass extract that you might be interested in. It's all thanks to your generous donation of skeletal matter.
Sounds great Ben. I can hardly wait to try some. As things stand right now I might need to buy another freezer first. Hopefully thanksgiving will take care of that and I will have more room soon. We will have to get together soon. Did you grind much of your deer?
