Sunday Brunch
Today, I had some friends over for Sunday brunch. It was lovely. I've had a pumpkin in the house, and I'd been thinking about exactly what to do with it. A couple of days ago, it occurred to me: Curry it. I got the recipe from this website. I'm not sure I used the right kind of chilies. (Or, at least not the right kind of chilies for my poor little tastebuds.). It was very spicy but so super creamy.
Even if it looked a little odd.
Plus, I got to serve it in its own shell.
It took a little longer to make than I thought it would. I always forget just how long it takes to hollow out a pumpkin. (Well, really, a squash of any kind.)
Stuff wasn't ready when my guests arrived, so we had coffee and some crackers and cheese. Then we moved onto the pumpkin, which I served with green beans and this:
That's stuffed chicken breasts in a honey mustard glaze. It was so luscious. My guests brought au gratin spaghetti squash and some scones made with lavender essence and clotted cream. After brunch, we sat around chatting, drinking chai and finishing off the meal with the scones. I really enjoyed planning the menu and getting up and cooking this morning. I'm thinking I may make this a monthly thing. Today was unintentionally squash themed, which means I have to think up a theme for next month. Any suggestions?
