I'm thinking about writing to Bon Appetit.<br /><br />IE<br />The Mrs won a decoration that I think belonged to the organizer neighbor. Just what we need too because we have boxes and boxes of decoration that I now have to put back in the crawl space.<br /><br />Chicky<br />I can't say enough about the immersion blender. Makes the job so much easier. I really want to make more cream soups and sauces.<br /><br />Karl<br />Mrs K has it right - it's a good and easy soup. And was this the briefing to assasinate Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? Just wondering.<br /><br />Aunty<br />It was a little cool a party time (maybe in the 40s) and I think that's why the soup went over big. Other than hamburgers and hot dogs, it was the only hot food out there.<br /><br />Jen<br />My pleasure. I have to view your blog at home because for some reason, my company firewall won't let me see it. It must be detecting porn.

Did the Mrs win anything good as the consolation prize? I also love your outdoor mis-en-place shots. <br /><br />Clearly we're all hoping someone finds that champagne pumpkin soup recipe. I've made squash soup with a little brandy and really liked it. Takes the, er, chill off, if you know what I mean, and it definitely adds some sweetness. <br /><br />Great job, Buzz, and thanks for playing!Sharon Ruddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00598263732896925616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7243099844770061125.post-6922795684010838492011-10-31T19:36:51.202-04:002011-10-31T19:36:51.202-04:00Ooh yeah, let me know when you find the champagne ...Ooh yeah, let me know when you find the champagne pumpkin soup recipe!LaDivaCucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000430029590301972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7243099844770061125.post-45219978955071550402011-10-31T19:36:21.738-04:002011-10-31T19:36:21.738-04:00Mmmmmm.....I love this soup, it's a standby I&...Mmmmmm.....I love this soup, it's a standby I've had for years, especially when living in Australia (or when I was broke!) Great job on roasting the squash, makes 'em even sweeter. Blender trick: Take the inner circle out of the lid and cover with a towel when blending.

I had that pot of soup blended in 2 minutes. It also has a small food processor attachment that I used to chop the parsley.<br /><br />Troll<br />Yeah, I've never had anything like it since. If you find a recipe, please share.<br /><br />Moi<br />Squash isn't for everyone. But I like it better than turnips.<br /><br />Steph<br />That makes sense. Even with a sharpened knife, those things were hard to cut down the middle. I'm lucky I didn't lose a finger.<br /><br />Boxer<br />I have blown the tops off of a couple of blenders and that hot soup/sauce sticks like napalm. The party lasts about 3 or 4 hours, everyone gets food and drink and you catch up on the goings on in the neighborhood. It's the only time I see some of the neighbors.Buzz Killhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443964019621130222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7243099844770061125.post-44357620743844727362011-10-31T10:26:26.477-04:002011-10-31T10:26:26.477-04:00bwahahahahaah.

I want one of those blender-wand-things and I also want to find the recipe for the squash and champagne soup. What a nice tradition to have a block party. We can't do that around here this time of year.... RAIN/RAIN/RAIN. <br /><br />I love the lady fingers.

A small tip that I've picked up over the years is to place a whole squash in the microwave for a few minutes and then go to cut it...it's softer and way easier and safer to cut. Great job with the soup!<br /><br />stephStephaniehttp://www.smallgirladventures.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7243099844770061125.post-48694833720479868112011-10-31T10:12:01.913-04:002011-10-31T10:12:01.913-04:00Mmmm . . .

I try to be a picky eater, but it doesn't work. (Those lady fingers look pretty darn gross, though. I'll pass on those.)<br /><br />Happy Culinary Smackdown, Haiku Monday, and Halloween.moihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07824043795171732429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7243099844770061125.post-21493580553379877672011-10-31T09:46:26.986-04:002011-10-31T09:46:26.986-04:00What you made looks very good but I hope you won&#...What you made looks very good but I hope you won't give up on finding that squash-champagne soup recipe.
