Last weekend was one spent in the kitchen! Don't do it heaps but just seemed to be on a mission to create some nice food! First up was Pumpkin soup which turned out to be Squash soup. After almost destroying the blender, the soup turned out thick and tasty, but lacked the orange look I was after, ending up a rather dull yellowish colour, similar to that of baby puke. Photo's were not a good option here, so just let the taste buds enjoy that one!
On Sunday we created two delicacies. Our favourite cake of all time is carrot cake. Moist, thick, rich in flavour and oh so nastily covered in cream cheese icing. It is simply devine! We baked it in the early afternoon and then allowed it to sit for icing later, while Tara began the roast. We picked up a delicious looking cut of beef from IGA just round the corner and roasted it for a couple of hours whilst preparing other dishes to go along side. The house smelt fabulous, that smell should be a fragrance you can buy for those glade plug-in things "roast dinner" and "Cake in the oven".

We capped everything off with a delicious gravy produced from the roast drippings just as Tara's mother arrived in time for dinner. Roast beef with mash and gravy, carrots, broccoli, delicious italian bread rolls and then for desert, a big slice of class A carrot cake. I was stuffed! Not the most traditional Turkey thanksgiving dinner, but a smorgasbord none-the-less!!
