Halloween pumpinks

When I was a little girl I knew about Halloween Party on television, around american movies. It was something so far from my life that I thought it was just an american business.
Never never never I could immagine that in a few years even here in Italy on the evening of October 31st some boy could knock on my door and ask me: "trick or treat?"
But as you can see, I'm ready now.
Ok guys, you can knock. I'm already waiting for you all.

g 250 pumpkin
g 175 sugar
g 500 flour
ml 50 sunflower oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
1/2 teaspoon ammonia for biscuits
zest and juice 1 orange
orange food coloring (optional)

  • wash, peel and cut the pumpkin in little squares. Put it in a pot with some water and let boil for 20 minutes. Add orange suice, g 50 sugar and cook for 10 minutes;

Pumpink and potatoes



I need more time. I want more time. More time to cook, more time to spend in my blog and around blogs I like. 
What can I do with a new kitchen if I have no time to spend in it? 
And what can I do with a new house if I go out very soon in the morning and come back late in the evening? A new house just to sleep? I don't need it, thanks.
Something has changed in my life during last months but I'm afraid that more still needs to be changed. 
I'm working on it and I'll be back. Soon. I hope.

In the meantime I leave you with a very quick fall recipe. Becouse are only fast the recipes I can do in this time of my life. 
Take care.


What you need for 2:
g 100 pumpkin
3 potatoes
extra virgin oil, salt, rosemary and black pepper to season

Instructions:
  • wash, peel and cut pumpink and potatoes in slices
  • put first some oil in the dish, cover with the slides (mix them so you have yellow and orange colours in the dish)
  • season at your favour with salt, pepper, rosemary and some more oil
  • put in the oven at 200° for 30-35 minutes.

Easy, fast and nice the double colour to see!
