Pumpkin...

LOOOVEEEEEEE IT!!! Roasted, mashed, steamed... anyway.. in salads, in pasta, on pizzas... the one Vegetable that really could eat day in day out.....
I am going to admit something so silly.... I went for years without it!!
Why??
cos' I HATED cutting them up!! That tough hard grey skin that would make my hands sore... just didn't do it!
When they induced that "jap" pumpkin with the soft skin, I started eating it again. And only TODAY i brought the old 'grey' kent varierty again and guess what. With sharp knives, it isn't that hard to cut!
So people... anyone else out there like me and not eat it because it is hard to cut... Buy a good knife and get into it!!!
Keep reading if you haven't read my post about that fab book... FATTITIDE by Craig Harper... everyone needs to read it!!!!

Shame, I wouldn't buy a pumpkin if it was only 1 cent! I can eat it, but it comes straight back up again... ha ha ha
