Orange food

So I went on a bit of a cooking frenzy today. Made carrot fritters with my excess carrot and then I tried to use the pumpkin I bought. There seems to be a bit of an orange theme going on!

Carrot fritters: (they look more orange in real life)


So I had bought a kg of pumpkin for a dollar and then I realised I had no idea what to do with it. First mission was cutting the sucker up. Once I clove it in twain I managed to jab the knife in and kind of lever it into smaller pieces. First I cooked it in the microwave in some water. Then I chucked in a frying pan with a sauce made of brown sugar and soy sauce (and some flour to thicken it). Then I got really creative (although some may call it crazy) and ended making an interesting concoction. I've had a pumpkin and chickpea salad before so I knew the two worked together. The final creation was as follows: Rice, pumpkin, chickpeas and a can of tomato and basil flavoured tuna (or something like that). It was very tasty. And now I have enough to feed an army...





Haha, and that's all my cooking for today.
