Tasty brown goop and Flavorful veggies

January 31, 2009 Uncategorized

Again, going with the “gourmet” theme, I am going to share two more “gourmet” lunches that I had yesterday and today. But first, yesterday’s breakfast, because it was different.

“Gourmet” by name and taste

January 29, 2009 Uncategorized

You don’t need to be a terrific chef with a showy culinary degree to enjoy gourmet meals at home. Whoops, strike that, make that “gourmet” because it isn’t really.

I’ve been craving soup like crazy. Specifically, my own special pumpkin soup. Forget the stuff they serve you in restaurants, forget the stuff you buy in cartons! Nothing beats fresh, homemade pumpkin soup made from fresh roasted pumpkin you baked yourself!   So I finally bought a 1.75 kg big-ass pumpkin and got to work [...]
