Lunch today is soldier toast with Pumpkin soup loaded with Garlic.
After waiting too long for my darling hubby to chop up the pumpkin, I decided two days ago to fix the issue. I chopped a hole in the top, dragged out the seeds, loaded 2-3 heaps dessert spoons of crushed garlic inside and some cracked pepper and put it in the oven to slowly bake. A few hours later I took it out, peeled off the skin, put the flesh into a bowl, added chicken stock and voila ... lunch for today. On first taste test after it was cooked I didn't like it much, I thought it had an earthy skin flavour. But today after time to mellow, I realised it must be the garlic I could taste. Verdict: it was actually quite sweet and yummy. I don't recommend others do what I did and pile in the garlic, we just happen to like a lot of it.
