it has been long since I last cooked
pumpkin soup
because it takes longer than usual to
handle pumpkin and
such a large portion
who’s gonna eat it
tomorrow is a public holiday
doesn’t make any difference for those
who are not working on a Saturday anyway
but for us who do
it is indeed different
finally an authentic feeling of
T.G.I.F.
so I bought a pumpkin
has been wanting to
and finally
started at 9:30 p.m.
skin peeling has taken at least 30 minutes
I cooked the whole pumpkin
too lazy to be bothered about
half pumpkin in the fridge
so I boiled it down to puree form
and reserve half of it for
future consumption
served a bowl to my roomie
who uploaded it to her Facebook
with the caption that it is real good
and wow.. people were actually
asking me for recipe?
wow..
feel so honoured
so I was actually typing it out
in the Facebook comment column
no recipe really
(1) boil cut pumpkin in water, till it turns puree
(2) boil cubed vegetables in another pot of water,
add in 1/4 flavouring cube / mushroom soup powder
(3) pour the puree into the vegetable broth
(4) ready to serve, garnish with baby kyuri
the satisfaction from
homecooked food totally
outweighs the toll of carrying
these grocery back home by bus
T.G.I.F.
