Oh I like arugula, I think it's the oak leaves and endive that taste more bitter in the mix.

I once planted arugula, not realizing how, um, hardy and self-propagating it is.

Now it's EVERYFUCKINGWHERE. Also tomatoes.

Cucumbers once took over my mom's garden...that was hysterical. I never ate so much cucumbers that year in my life.  :x

I would not mind cucumbers.

The pumpkins, though, oh fuck. SO MANY PUMPKINS.

I love pumpkin soup; that's probably what I'll do with most of them, and pies from some, and pumpkin curry with a few more, and the rest will rot on the ground.

i think it's basically pumpkin chunks, boiled in veggie stock, then pureed with a blender-on-a-stick. cream is added and stirred afterwards. fresh ground black pepper to taste.

when serving, put a little drop of cream in the bowl, cause it looks pretty. also some green leaf (basil, parsley,whatever you have fresh).

i will ask her if there's anything more to it, but i think that's pretty much it. maybe some garlic? (garlic is always good, after all)

Also, Zippletits: that sounds fantastic. I am so trying that this fall.

My wife thought it would be a good idea to just throw the rotten pumpkins from last Halloween into a pile on some old sod we had ripped out and piled in a corner.  The spot is riddled with pumpkin plants.  Not only that, some birds must've tucked into them at different points and crapped them over my lawn because I've got little pumpkin plants here and there growing in mah lawn.

Pumpkins ftw!

There are tons of great things to do with pumpkins because they work in both sweet and savory dishes. You can make pumpkin risotto, pumpkin butter, stuffed pumpkin, etc.

This year I'm trying out growing a Japanese pumpkin called kabocha.  Most sites recommend simmering it in a mix of mirin, soy sauce, sugar, and dashi broth. I wonder if that method would work well with other winter squash...

I bet it would, and it sounds delicious!

Ooh, I make pumpkin curry soup every Halloween!  I make grilled cheese sammiches to go along with.  My kids love it!  :D

BADGE OF HONOR

Two words:  pumpkin souffle.
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".
