no croutons

precious ramotswe says: '...life is like that sometimes... you can think and think and think but at the end of the day you still have to eat your pumpkin.'

I agree, but it is difficult if you dont have any pumpkin to eat. So I made some stew. this is what you need:

butter
two big onions
one small pumpkin
two stock cubes
some stewing steak (gulasz wolowy po polsku)
another stock cube
too much pre-ground black pepper
cinnamon
water from a polish tap- which my friend malgosia says will kill you
brussel sprouts

and there you are. in a semi related note i found out that brussel sprouts are not universally hated by humans under the age of 10. on the contrary, Julia, a flesh and blood 5 and 3/4 year old actually asked for more.

more as it happens
