Last night boy cooked a huge thanksgiving meal for that well known American holiday. Something to do with pilgrims I think.
We had.... Pumpkin Soup
An 18lb organic turkey from Borough Market, butternut squash, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, green bean carrots, stuffing, apple sauce and cranberry sauce of course.
followed by Tarte Tatin & Pumpkin Pie
Here's the invite...
Nine lovely friends came to join us at G's flat which was just as well because my house is too small to swing a gerbil.
I very ungratefully couldn't keep my dinner down. I think the gremlins are coming back and they are irritating my stomach. I hope this isn't a taste of things to come.
Billy Bragg made me cry, everything makes me cry these days. I've suddenly become very afraid.
Mmmm. Pumpkin pie! Has to be tasted to be believed. Pumpkin in *each* course, though?
Don't be afraid about being sick. You've probably just got the sickness bug that's going round. Two of the kids in my class were sick today just after eating - that is a record considering I only have 16 in my class!
It is no reflection on our lovely school dinners, in case you were wondering!

I hope not, too.
I wish my own good health at the moment were a pumpkin pie. I could send you a couple of pieces and never miss them. Maybe they would slide right into your tummy comfortably, stay there, take root and stand guard against the gremlins.

Not to worry, the pumpkin tasted different in each course. The soup was half chicken broth, the pumpkin mash was only one of 4 mashes and the pie was actually Sweet potato, with a dash of pumpkin on the side and lots of cream.
