pumpkin

did i talk about this last week?  that i read a running magazine article on how pumpkin is one of those foods you are supposed to eat?  well guess what i realised in retrospect - since eggs are on that list as well???  some variationof pumpkin pie or pumpkin custard falls within the range of good to eat...
now of course a pie or custard is going to have a whole lot of sugar and cream in it as well - so that verges off the healthy for your range but think of all the other variations with eggs you can make that dont require the cream or sugar or cheese..  i make eggs with all sorts of savory items on a regular basis so why not throw some pumpkin in the mix?
at the moment i have my first attempt of this cooling on the kitchen counter
we shall see how it turns out - of course the dilema that is ever present in my kitchen - if it is good i may not be able to recreate it because i am not too sure all that i did with it - 3 eggs for 4 servings, i know that much - but i did throw in some fat free vanilla yogurt i had left lying about and i dont know the amount of pumpkin that was left over from the yogurt experiment earlier this week and then the spices - oh just dashes of nutmeg and cinamon but who knows how much...
i really should try to be more attentive to those details if i want to share these finds with others - oops...
