I never thought I would post recipes here, but today I came up with something great and wanted to share it. There are probably thousands of similar recipes on the web, but none of them is mine.

Preamble:

Just lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about nutrition; it’s a topic that I suspect tends to concern people more as they get older and start a) thinking about life extension as a matter requiring attention, and b) having friends drop dead of heart attacks.

One thing I recently read somewhere (surely from an authoritative source) was that one should eat vegetables that are darkly or strongly coloured, and particularly Things That Are Orange. I realized that aside from the odd carrot, I have very little orange in my diet. Accordingly, on my next trip to the supermarket, I bought a tin of puréed pumpkin, though with no clear plan in mind.

Well, today I was looking around for something quick and healthy to eat, my eye landed on that tin of pumpkin, and I thought “pumpkin soup.” I mean, it’s half way there already, right?

Well, yes, actually, and it took very little effort to turn it into something I’d serve at a dinner party. (more…)

Oh, there’s just nothing left that’s safe to eat. Read now about flour, and why you don’t want to eat it.
