Good morning everyone.. well what a surprise we had last night, got a text from the in-laws saying they had picked up some reduced pumpkins for us, oooh lovely they got four for £1.98 and while they were out had looked on the flea market and found a Breville slow cooker for £10 so picked that up for us too.
What a lovely gift..we were thrilled as i had been looking for one for weeks on the Wednesday markets. Needless to say that evening it was thoroughly cleaned, one Pumpkin prepared, a potato, two carrots that were lurking in the fridge, vegetable stock, a onion and a dash of cumin, ground ginger, and nutmeg salt and pepper, i put it on low when we went to bed at 11pm, got up this morning at 6.45 turned it off and allowed it to cool down, i just whizzed it up in the food processor and voila .. the best tasting pumpkin soup i've ever tasted...yummy just what we need now the weather has changed :) It filled a whole tupperware lunch box..plenty for OH work lunches tea tonight and more no doubt!
I priced up what the Pumpkins should have cost = £8
And the Slow Cooker new is = £29.99
So £37.99 all together wow .. in all my lovely in-laws paid £11.98.. i feel very lucky... and we still have three Pumpkins to use up ... :)
