Introducing the World Famous Bloggers' Breakfast!

It all started with a pumpkin losing its top - and ended up with its innards, cooking in cream until deliciously tender, then being devoured. It all went very well although the pumpkin wasn't overly flavourful - so I added some garlic and seasoning, which made it gorgeous. It was rich, and with half a pint of cream you can see why, but oh my, it's something I'd make again in a heartbeat.

Once you've scooped the pumpkin clean...

You add cheese (our choice was a mature cheddar) and cream and seasoning (with garlic if you like a bit more kick)...

Then you cook until tender ~ about 1 1/2 hours. In a (chipped) bowl to avoid collapse...

And voilá, you have the most delicious meal, served with gorgeous (homemade) cheesy scones and a wonderful apple crisp for desert.

Which I would have a picture of, except, well, once cooked it didn't really live very long, if you know what I mean!

The only photo of my wonderful russet apple crumble, with gorgeous spices and brown sugar - it did get a top, but was cooked and eaten so soon after that there is no photographic evidence at all!

Looks wonderful as always, I would have loved eating it all but it's definitely not for the currently somewhat generously proportioned!
I just love cheese scones though......

mmm yum, I"ve just planted some pumpkin seedlings so I'll definitely recipe this lovely recipe when it's time to harvest! What herbs or other plants would you recommend are good to put next to vegetables in the garden?
