Pumpkinland

The pumpkin harvest has been brought in and its been sitting on my kitchen floor. I have two pumpkins of the above size and a box of assorted smaller squash. Much as I like pumpkin soup my heart falls of the thought of hauling one of these beasts up on to my work surface and proceeding to hack it up with a knife. I also have to find room for the leftover squash in my freezer and before that, I have to process it into a freezable state.

So what to cook with this haul? First thoughts are:

• Pumpkin Ravioli
• Pumpkin Pie
• Pumpkin Cheesecake
• Pumpkin Soup
• Pumpkin Curry
• Pumpkin Cake
• Pumpkin Crumble
• Pumpkin + Pasta
• Pumpkin Casserole
• Pumpkin Cake
• Pumpkin Risotto

I wonder whether I will run out of ideas before I run out? Hmmm a challenge. Whilst a month of pumpkin recipes cooked would be fun, I think I would start receiving complaints from M. Anyway I'm going for 30 dishes before Christmas.
