2006 - We made stuffed Pumpkin. NOM
Stuffed Pumpkin
Part 1
1 whole Pie Pumpkin (8-10 inches diameter)( You can also use a hubbard squash)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Part 2
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
2.5 lbs (1134 grams) Ground Turkey
1 Teaspoon Poultry Seasoning
1 Teaspoon White Pepper
2 Golden Bell Peppers, chopped (alt: can use regular green or red peppers)
1 large Red Onion, chopped
Part 3
1/3 lb (151 grams) Precooked Turkey Sausage
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons minced fresh Oregano
2 teaspoons vinegar
1 teaspoon Black Pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cloves garlic, pressed
Part 4
1 1/4 cups (280 grams) Golden Raisins
1/3 cups (76 grams) Chopped Green Olives, stuffed with pimentos
1 400gram can (14 ounces) Chopped Skinned Tomatoes
3 Large Eggs, beaten
=========
Part 1 – Prepping the Pumpkin
With a sharp knife, cut out a circular top, about 5 inch diameter (or big enough for your fist). Save the top for the lid.
Scoop out the seeds and scrape out the stringy guts until it is clean
(For a snack while cooking, rinse the seeds, sprinkle with sea salt, celery salt or any flavour of popcorn seasoning and toast under the oven broiler till lightly browned)
Get a STOCK POT that is big enough for your pumpkin. Put the pumpkin in it and cover with water (Also fill the pumpkin). Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water. The idea is to cook the pumpkin from both outside and inside. (If you have an electric cooking coil, place it in the pumpkin to boil the water inside.
Cover the pot, bring water to a boil, then simmer until the pumpkin meat is ALMOST tender when pierced with a fork, about 10-15 minutes
*Do Not Overcook! The pumpkin should remain firm enough to keep its shape. An overcooked pumpkin has the potential to collapse under the weight of the filling later, and it is also really hard to get out of the water.
**Do not underestimate the time it will take you to remove a hot, floppy pumpkin from hot water without wrecking it! Be very careful and don’t rush it. If you hav those silicone oven mitts that let you put your hand into boiling water, this is where you want to use them.

Part 2 – Meat Mixture
Heat vegetable oil in a large frypan or wok
Add Ground Turkey, Poultry Seasoning, White Pepper, Bell Peppers, and Onion. Cook over medium heat until the turkey is no longer pink. Remove from heat and set aside
Part 3 – Sausage Mixture
In a large bowl, mix together the Cooked Turkey Sausage, Olive Oil, Oregano, Vinegar, Black Pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of Salt, and Garlic
Part 4 – put it all together.
Add the Sausage mixture, Raisins, Olives, and Tomotoes to the ground turkey mixture in a wok or large frypan. Mix well. Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally
Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly
Add 3 beaten eggs and mix in thoroughly.
Part 5 – Stuff that Pumpkin
Fill the cooked pumpkin with the stuffing. Press stuffing lightly to pack it. Cover the pumpkin opening with aluminum foil. Place pumpkin in greased shallow baking pan and bake at 350f for 1 hour. When 15 minutes are remaining, replace the foil with the pumpkin lid.
When done, spoon off extra moisture. Allow to cool 15 minutes before serving. This will give the stuffed pumpkin time to firm up as well.
To serve, slice from top to bottom in fat wedges, and put wedges on a dinner plate. Spoon extra filling on top. The entire pumpkin is edible except for the woody stem.
For smaller servings, cut the pumpkin cleanly at the equator, flip the top half into another dish for cutting, and place the bottom half in the fridge for later.

My best friend and I gathered all our stuffed animals together for a group picture one day, about 1979 or 1980. Mine are generally on the right and hers are on the left.

Roast stuffed peppers are one of my all time favourite dishes, simple, economical and combined with a fresh green salad and a portion of long grain white rice a filling and satisfying meal; best of all they make for great photography!

I had 2 eggplants in the fridge and some ground beef and have been thinking since Thursday about making stuffed eggplant.
Slice and scoop two small eggplants. Salt and drain the shells and insides. Pre-bake the shells and then stuff.
The stuffing is made with the eggplant insides, beef, onions, garlic, tomatoes, parsley, breadcrumbs and a herbed Chèvre cheese. Topped with some shredded cheddar partway through baking, and voilà !
The step-by-step process is here.

Creepy taxidermy littering the abandoned Maison Dr P in Belgium. Not really something you would want staring back at you in your bedroom!
Seasoned ground beef and diced tomato make up the filling for these yummy stuffed red, yellow and green sweet (bell) peppers. They were so delicious -- got raves from everyone in the household.
allrecipes.com/Recipe/Stuffed-Peppers-4/Detail.aspx -- I made slight modifications to the recipe. Rather than using onion & garlic powder, I sauteed a 1/2 onion with a clove of garlic in a little bit of olive oil. When done, I put them aside, and cooked the ground beef in the same pan. When the ground beef was nice and brown, I removed it from heat, added the onion & garlic along with the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, a bit of salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Instead of mixing the rice into the stuffing mixture, I served it on the side, with a bit of thinned tomato sauce.
One of the curiosities of these old abandoned buildings is how much trash they produce. I suspect it is largely because they become 'trash magnets' as they sit and rot. The thinking must be if the city officials and owners don't care enough to tear down this dump, then a dump it is. I'll just toss my crap on the pile.
Pity the neighbors.
I pulled out some of my Best Friends dolls and pirated some of their toys... Board game, CD player, lots of things that I didn't get any good pictures of :\
