A lovely seasonal idea – pumpkins … I have avoided pumpkins for a long time, as I never liked the pickled version my grandmother used to buy. Then I needed a pumpkin for a cake with pumpkin (much like a carrot cake) – and after that I tried some more recipes. The well-known pumpkin-soup, of course, and a potato-salad with pumpkins. Now .. which of my specialties to choose??

Mmm – I can see a pumpkinn menu coming up – starting with pumpkin soup (somebody has to), followed by some yet untried pumpkin main course (the potato-salad is just not enough for a main course ) and pumpkin cake for dessert … Mm – I remember a autumn-salad with some baked pumpkin (lamb’s lettuce would be my salad of choice – and that slightly bitter red thingie, blue cheese, pear and walnuts inside, too) … I will need a big pumpkin 😉

Well, she has just been to Australia, so I should be very cautious with invitations … she might indeed come – something you normally only expect Germans to do, when you say: Whenever you are my corner, come round …
Americans don’t mean that literally, Germans on the other hand take those invitations literally. That has been the reason for many embarrassing situations.

Found a main course – a savoury pumpkin tarte … with spring onions, one red chili, a little bit of cooked ham, crème fraîche and cheese … and I can imagine the autumn-salad with pumpkin on the side of that … *licks own lips*
