The pumpkin soup was a hit with the other committee members. And I still have half the brew remaining. That's lunch for the next few days sorted.
20-odd years ago, later at night, in supermarkets a contractor would be sweeping the aisles using a sweeper-vac thing with a pertol engine powered by liquified petroleum gas.
Nowadays an employee uses a battery-driven machine of the same size.
@sumudu the pain has gone, the sole treatment being 30 minutes immersion in cold running water. I'm OK.
Splashed hot oil onto my right (onscreen typing) finger last night. Much painfulness! Initially I held it under cold running water for five minutes, this eased the pain considerably. But it kept me beside a water tap.
I have a battery-powered wine bottle chiller that circulates cold water via a pump in its base, so I shoved my hand into that for about 20 minutes in two ten minute spells.
There's a blister there now, which wasn't evident before the water treatment. Seven hours after the event, all pain has gone. Much relief, it was quite agonising for a bit.
Dinner was a big cup (3 ladles) of the pumpkin soup I made today. I'm pleased at how it turned out, it could have been sweeter with more of the Kent variety & less Queensland Blue, but the flavour would be less intense.
Just learned my 56-yr-old mentally-retarded brother is in hospital with an unspecified urinary tract infection. His carers say he'll be kept in overnight on an antibiotic drip. Neither his carers nor myself have motified Mum, she'd just worry herself into a frightful state & we don't need that.
Pumpkin soup is done! Added a litre of chicken stock to the roasted vegetables and cooked it for 15 minures in a pressure cooker. Then I mashed the vegetable chunks and puréed it all with a stick mixer. As it was far too thick I added another litre of chicken stock and blitzed it again. Now it's a fine, smooth yet thick soup. I also added a cup of milk to smooth it a bit more & mellow out the flavour.
Operation successful.
Pumpkins, potatoes, carrots & orange sweet potatoes cut and put in the oven to roadt as the first stage of making a delicious pumpkin soup.
@jextxadore The ratios of various veggies is ip to you as long as pumpkin is in the majority.
