Adventures in Baking....
Last week, while we were in Lancaster I picked up two smallish pumpkins (they probably weigh about 5 lbs each.) Thought I'd do something with them this afternoon. Searching RecipeZaar, I found a nice-looking recipe for Pumpkin Risotto. Only one problem: I don't have risotto rice. I have no idea if it makes a difference. Enter Google:
"Can You Make Risotto Without Arborio Rice?"
A. Yes,and you can make truffles with carob, strawberry shortcake with Cool Whip, and your teenage daughter can go on a date this Saturday night with a member of the Hell’s Angels instead of the clean-cut, reliable boy next door whom you’ve watched grow up over the years and is not covered with tattoos and pierced pretty much everywhere.
Gotta love snarky chefs. :)
Searching for pumpkin recipes turns up a ton of results that use the canned variety, but very few call for fresh gourds. So, I'm making Pumpkin Puree.
We'll see if this turns into a "Pumpkin Icident".
