Throwaway Pumpkin

A few weeks ago I found a perfectly good pumpkin sitting by a garbage can. So I picked it up and took it home. This week I processed it (quite easy to do, if time consuming) and I've been eating pumpkin soup all week long. Delicious! Today I added beef chuck to it.

The things people throw out in this country! We Americans really do not appreciate what we have. I still can't believe it. Nothing was wrong with this pumpkin and somebody threw it away as if it were so much refuse. Oh well. Their loss!
