A Cinderella Pumpkin

I bought a Rouge Vif d'Etampes a.k.a. a Cinderella pumpkin, of French heritage, at the market today from the squash queen. It is huge and gorgeous and apparently red inside. I am going to feed my family this wonderful voluptuous thing during the Christmas holidays. Yum! The squash queen says you can roast the whole pumpkin and then freeze it in the portions you want to cook with.

I love the market on a Saturday morning......so crowded......coffees in most hands, meeting friends, hugs and interesting pumpkins.
