Yummy time

Still recovering from the yummy lunch at my friend S. She hosted a pre-Christmas lunch completely handmade by herself.

As always this means a complete treat to your senses.

Also got to taste some yummy poached pears served with a mascarpone cream....hmmm..was just delicious.

I used the chance and also made a spiced pumpkin pie.

All in all a wonderful time indeed.

For the love of pumpkins

Little rabbit turned 6 months old last week and I slowly have got her started on eating solid foods now. One of her fav foods at the moment is mashed pumpkins. So pumpkins seem to be around most of the time at home. Seeing so many pumpkin pies being baked over Thanksgiving thought I would try it out myself.

With my little bunny to help me out in measuring all the ingredients it was fun to make it.

Puree one roasted pumpkin.

Roll out the pie crust.

Line the pan with the pie crust.

Cut out the extra edges of the dough.

Make a lot of holes on the surface so that it does not rise.

Blind bake the pie for 10 minutes.

Pour in the mashed pumpkin mixed with spices.

I also used some powdered ginger in the mixture.

All ready to be baked for an hour.

All of us enjoyed the pie and I took some over to S's for lunch as well.
