my dad’s garden is a jungle! he grows pumpkins too! most of my veggies come from our backyard which is just so much more satisfying to eat! we have capsicums, cucumbers, bananas (almost), herbs, tomatoes, wintermelon, fruits, chillies, its amazing!!
Oh hell yes! That must be the best thing ever! So far, I just have an endless supply of pumpkins in winter, and cucumbers in summer :P
Oh, and eggs, when I remember to ask for them!
…Now all they need to do is get some animals to raise humanely, so that I may eat them when they die of old age…
Because he picked the pumpkin just for me! He is always loading me with veggies from his garden. It’s like “Nah, I really don’t need five pumpkins for the week…” *he hands me another four* [That didn’t happen, but I swear, if I let him, it would :P]
I asked boyfriend why he did that - apparently because his kids hate veggies STILL (and the youngest is 20 :P) and I’m all “Veggies? GIMME” and get excited about them, and he gets excited about them, so we get excited together, and he has someone to give them too :D
Boyfriends sister hates, eg. Lettuce. “It tastes like dirt”. Me: YOUR LIFE IS DIRT!!!! HDU INSULT LETTUCE.
And NONE of the siblings like berries. ARE YOU CRAY CRAY? And… Essentially, they all only like potato. With sour cream and butter so thick you can sink your teeth in :P
And me, I’m there, eating more veggies than the three of them put together.
OM NOM NOM.
Wow, who’d have thought that simply eating some good, soul-warming pumpkin soup would make me feel like dancing around happily?!

im the same, i was never a fan of pumpkin soup and havent had it since i was younger, but i keep seeing all these yummy looking pumpkin soups on my dash and now i think i should reconsider, esp coming into winter now aswell!
Give it a shot! If it fails, you know. But if not… you have the best thing ever!! I think it helped that the pumpkin was grown in boyfriends parents yard - so it was completely organic, and all that jazz. It was at the perfect ripeness too, because his dad picked it just for me! :D

I love pumpkin soup! Especially when the pumpkin is garlic roasted.
Oooh, I’m gonna have to try that next!! I LOVE garlic!!
I used to have it a lot as a kid, and wasn’t a fan. But now that I got to make it myself, it was suited perfectly, and was just… AMAZING.
Seriously, I’ve nearly eaten it all. But it’s… SO HEALTHY. Like, it’s nothing but veggies and salty water.
IS THIS A PROBLEM
Guys, guys, guys!!! I just made pumpkin soup for the first time ever! I’ve had it before, but I’ve never made it myself. And it’s SO GOOD.
It’s just pumpkin, chicken stock, some carrots, and ginger. OM. NOM. FUCKING NOM.
Yup, this is hard already…
I looked at the picture and was all “Oh, and there’s X, and there’s Y, and Z and… GODDAMNIT WHY CAN’T I BE THERE?!”
At least I’ll get to meet some in August… :3
Still freaking out about the fact I’ve signed up to run 14km. And I KNOW the girls there will likely be a lot fitter than me, and I don’t wanna get left in their dust. Good motivation to work hard though :)
Also… I googled reviews for the backpackers I was looking at. NO. Oh god, they spoke of MOULDY showers and COCKROACHES and… FILTHY BEDS. I don’t intend to spend much time in my room, but… …Mould is actually probably one of my biggest fears. I don’t touch shower walls. I stand on my toes in the shower for fear of germs. I… no, mould is just terrifying to me.
So, looking at hotels in the area now!
Anyway, going to go eat! Need FUEL. And stuff!!

Try Vitarium Sugar Free Drinking Chocolate + kids ones to put in yogurt (Woolies) and Chobani (Woolies) add frozen berries for sweetness. Hope that helps.
*sobs* I… can’t… get… Chobani… WAHHHHHHH. Sadly, it’s still 91km away from me :C I seriously cannot WAIT until it’s closer, so I can eat it all! But I’ll look into that drink :D Thank you!!
Good night Tumblr-oonies.
So. Sleepy. Hardly been awake since like, 6pm.
Ugh.
