Fall hath arriveth

The first day of Fall 2016: September 22, 8:21 a.m. MDT.

It was a gray and rainy morning, i.e. good napping weather.

Fall means pumpkin and and other winter squash.

I cooked my first pumpkin two days before official Fall and some of that pumpkin is in that little loaf of bread.

I add pumpkin to Bear’s food, any soup or stew or sauce for me … good stuff!

This year – pumpkin in the electric pressure cooker!

Give it a scrub, add a cup of water to the cooker and set the pumpkin on a steam rack.

Thirteen minutes at pressure with natural release and the skin slides off.

Perfect pumpkin!

Fall hath arriveth.

    Your pumpkin preparation looks pretty slick. Are there any problems getting the seeds and membranes out? Happy Fall. Time to plant garlic here

      No problem … I was going to take a photo but my hands were messy! The seeds and membranes scoop out easier than when I’ve tried to do it before roasting.

    Pumpkin is just starting to become available here. A few years ago it was a novelty – Americans who wanted one for Halloween had to grow them or order one. I love roast pumpkin!
    It is cold here very early. This morning it was 8C and during the day it’s around 20C.
