Pumpkin Drama






Back in late September, or October I bought a blue pumpkin at that farmer's market.
I think it is a Queensland Blue. Anyway, today I cooked it.
I put it in a pan with 3/4 cup water and covered in with foil.
It cooked rather quickly. When I took it out of the oven it had doubled in liquid. I turned my back to do something and when I turned around to deal with the pumpkin again all the liquid had disappeared!
Some weird magic suction had taken place sending all the liquid into the cavities.
Freaky!
Don't you love the crazy shade of green the pumpkin changed to?

The flesh smells yummy. More about the pumpkin later . . .
