Today was the second lesson in the kitchen with Bek - pumpkin soup day for my little sous chef. She did well!
It is not soup weather, but we had a 2/3 of a big pumpkin to use up.
No matter, we both enjoyed it for lunch anyway.
I remember being a couple of years older than her, my first time making pumpkin soup, at the first place I ever lived in on my own. The recipe never said to drain the pumpkin, but it didn't say not to either. I drained it. Bad decision! I should have called Mum! Glad to know Bek will be better prepared than me, if she ever leaves home (I don't think I'll mind if she doesn't)
Speaking of German sausage, last time we were at the local markets Bek decided to try one. It had chunks of cheese in it. I think she liked it. The fat factor is not a concern with her, she's a tiny little thing - could do with some more weight on her.
