Quick Pumpkin Supper

Our Halloween Pumpkin has done his job outside and moved into the kitchen today. 

It was divided it in two halves; the goo and seeds scraped out. 

Then the slices were baked unseasoned at 350° F for about 40 minutes.

Some of them I peeled and used today, the rest went into the freezer for future dishes.

A simple cheese sauce and rice.

Grilled chicken breast, apple slices, onion and pumpkin pieces. Seasoned with pumpkin spice. 

That was the dinner of tonight!

See you in a fortnight!

Today's Outlook

Cold,

-1°C (30,2°F), but sunny.

I walked around the house and took some shots out of different windows. 

View from the upper window towards north-west, Eastport, Me.

... towards south-west, foam caps on the water.

..east, the garden is now permanently in the shade of the large trees.

..view from my kitchen window. Just ignore that s&^# power pole!

Glowing red in the sunshine, rose bushes at the border of my garden.

First ice on the brackish water near Herring Cove Beach 

Cold out here, but beautiful!

I went back in the afternoon when the tide was out again. 

See the difference.

In the frozen air bubbles, pebbles and tang along the waters edge I think I saw ....

... a bird's face

:))

It's not hamburger meat!

Howling winds and no desire to go outside made me walk into the cooking department. 

I found some colourful cookie photos and thought that I should give it a try. I could find my cookie forms otherwise I would have cut them into hearts.

After JP. came back from his photo tour we had a nice "cuppa" coffee and pink strawberry flavoured cookies.
You want one?
Maybe I will make green christmas tree cookies in December......

PS.

JP captured a ghost at the cliffs.

Do you SEE it too?
A SEA ghost.

Wordless Wednesday, nearly

I picked up that idea of a wordless Wednesday. Here you are:

8: 15 AM ,   26,6°F  (-3°C)

Evidence of the first light frost around our house.

Later, 2 crows came to admire the colours on the rose bushes..
