Well, I did.
The blackboard in our kitchen advertises the crop of the moment: a beautiful bounty of cooking pears.
Those who suspect the food processor is new would be correct.
It made pesto shortly after this picture was taken.
We went to the Lancefield Farmers' Market yesterday and bought this from a guy who looked like a young Aussie version of Lourdes' Dad. We said hello to the beef lady and had a chat with the nice guy from Goldfields Farmhouse cheeses. Their white cheese is yummy and a staple on our list. (I learned how to make it at a cheese-making course I took from them last May, but you know what? It's easier to buy a couple of rounds a month...)
Past the guy from Red Beard Bakery who was wielding a hammer with intent (thankfully his intent was to hammer a tent peg) and we found a new stall, the Piper St Food Co., with wild rabbit rillettes - like the sweetest loveliest textured pate you ever had. If you see them at a market, try it.
We had all-important chatting moments, bought sheafs of summer basil -- one large green genovese bunch and a bunch of the purple that I couldn't help holding like a bouquet and sniffing all the way back to the car.
So the pumpkin? I think it's going to get roasted, hollowed out and the innards mashed with roasted home-grown garlic and a bit of cream, mashed back in and drizzled with basil pesto made this morning, and mmmmm I can hardly wait!

Hwoor yum, I do love a roasted pumpkin! It was lovely to see your post pop up on my sidebar, and I see you've been busy recently- I must catch up on the news!
Thanks! We must catch up, somehow somewhere around here in the last six months, my job ate my life! Trying to get it back now, slowly...
Lordy woman you know how to tempt. The description itself was enough to tempt my tastebuds but seriously that pumpkin...heaven!
