Pumpkin soup and Egg Timer

This is what happens when my parents take my DSRL without telling me, not that i mind.. just they have no idea how to use it that everything is blurry.. Lol its such a shame cause my mums all dolled up :(
but i think its cute..

i tried to teach my dad how to use it, but i dont think he got it.. so i let him use the olympus camera.. but its still not as easy enough so i gave him my black cyber-shot :)

 A free sample of Sally Hanson nails =)

And a free egg timer! =D
 im boiling my veges n eggs together cause im only quickly cooking myself a midnight snack..
 but how mad is that!!
the only sad thing is that after i took the timer out, it kept getting more cooked.... so it ended up being medium/hard boiled eggs :(
 but they are perfect still.


The pumpkin soup i made the other night,
i made the mistake by over peppering it before i even blended the mixture.. so it was so spicy!
but with some cream it actually tasted better :)

Recipe:
Butternut pumpkin (i used half first, but because it was so peppery.. lol i ended up using the whole one) but it depends how much u want to make.
1 onion
2 carrots
3 potato
water
salt and pepper to taste

1) Chop everything up so they are all around the same size, no need to be perfect, everythings going to be blended.
2) Add veges and water (till its just covered or a little less)
3) Boil for an hour or till everything is very soft.
4) Blend everything up in a food processor or blender
5) Taste, Add Salt an pepper to taste.

Alternatives.
- I caramelised the onions first just by frying them up in a lil bit of oil before added the water and other veges in. it brings out the onions sweetness.
- Roasting the pumpkin for an hour instead of boiling it would give a nice sweet roasted flavour.
- Instead of using water you can switch to a vegetable stock or a beef stock instead, has a stronger flavour.

i donno, its just so simple..
But if its still confusing, i used this guys recipe..
sorta.. lol
