Pumpkin Carving

My boys are both sick, a bad cold or mild flu it seems. All high temps, shivers, snot, and coughs. Thought I'd try to cheer them up by getting the pumpkins out and carve them for Halloween.

And it was fun, but they had little interest in the actual carving (maybe they are still too little to enjoy getting all gungie in pumpkin innerds) but the liked the finished things.

Jack has a pair of ghosts on his, and Tom has a kitty-bat. Copied from templates that Mark got as part of a carving kit. I'm quite impressed!

Then Jack asked where his pumpkin-face was (like I normally do for them) so they both have a silly face carved into the other side of their pumpkins too!

They are both still poorly, but at least I got a few smiles out of them for a bit.

Recipe: Pigsty Pie

This is one that we made up, although we are far from the first or only people to make a pie using pork or pork mince and call it a Pigsty Pie. So let's just say that this is our version of it. It smells great and reminds me of stuffing at Christmas, making it feel much more "naughty" than it is! This serves four people and it a nice 9 points per serving. You will need these for the mash: 400g potatoes 400g sweet potatoes 4-5 good sized carrots Salt Pepper Nutmeg Simply chop the roots, boil in salted water until tender, and mash! Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. The pie filling: 10 sprays low fat cooking spray (e.g. 1 cal) 1/2 lb lean pork mince 2 onions, finely chopped 3 apples, diced 1 leek, chopped 5-6 big mushrooms 2 tbs plain flour 1 tsp sage 1 tsp parsley Salt Pepper 1 vegetable stock cube 1/2 hot water 2 tsp English mustard Fry the onions in the cooking spray until they start to soften, add the mince. Once the meat starts to colour add the apple, leek and mush
