Merry Samhain

To celebrate Hallowe'en Matthew & I had baked pumpkin with nutmeg butter* and, erm, veggie-fish-fingers for tea, and then I carved a cute little face into the pumpkin.



In another Hallowe'en-ey related area, I have decided to rename the flat from 'my new flat' to 'the bat flat', owing to a fantabulous present picked out for me by my sibs:



Yes, those are indeed Batman batteries! This keyring will replace the rather octopus-like 'flower' keyring I knitted for my flat keys.

~ Cut the top off the pumpkin. Clean out the pith and the seeds - you can clean the seeds and roast them on a sheet of foil.
~ Warm about an ounce of butter in a pan, and add a small tablespoon of nutmeg.
~ Brush the butter on the inside of the pumpkin, then out the lid back on.
~ Wrap in foil and bake at 200oC for 45 minutes.
~ Bring the pumpkin to the table and scoop the flesh out - then use the shell to make a face in!
