Thursday October 10, 2013
Last week I met with my goddaughter Evie ad her sister !udrey" Evie re#ers to me as her $#airy godmother$ which is a
tit%e that I am more tha happy to c%aim" &owever, as a resu%t I #ee% compe%%ed to brig her specia% treats ad
surprises ' she(s c%ear%y a rather c%ever gir%) *+
&er mum Lu%u was te%%ig me that Evie is rather obsessed with tutus" I #act she ca o#te be heard proc%aimig $I must
wear a tutu)$ ,he wated to wear oe a#ter swimmig practice ad pretty much o every sig%e occasio both iside ad
outside the home" Ridig a bike- That re.uires a pik se.ui tutu" Eatig a s%ice o# ,wiss cheese- /ep that wou%d be a
tutu occasio" !d I swear I had othig to do with this a%though it does soud %ike somethig that I might ecourage"
Evie is a%so kow to be o the stubbor side 0agai othig to do with me but 1r 232 did give me a %ook+ ad she has to
have certai thigs her way" Later that week I caught myse%# sayig to 1r 232 $I must have vegetab%es)$ ad the I
rea%ised that I had perhaps somehow remote%y perhaps u%eashed my persoa%ity oto my goddaughter who %ives 40
ki%ometres away" Oops)
1y dec%aratio about vegetab%es came at a time whe I had some mariated steak but o sides" I cou%d have eate it i a
sadwich ad added some carame%ised oios but I wated somethig s%ight%y hea%thy to eat a%og with it" I am s%ight%y
obsessed with side dishes because I %ove vegetab%es" ,o I picked up a who%e butterut pumpki that had bee sittig i a
bow% o the kitche bech eg%ected #or about two moths ad made a impromptu sa%ad"
5ee%ig ad s%icig a butterut pumpki is easier tha other varieties ad I 6ust kept addig #%avours that I %iked to
it" I stashed it i the #ridge #or dier ad a coup%e o# hours %ater it eded up beig a e7ce%%et vegetab%e
accompaimet to the steak" Roastig the pumpki itesi#ies ad sweetes the #%avour ad the sesame seeds, #eta, chi%%i
ad hoey add so much te7ture ad dimesio to it" 8hat I a%so %iked about it was that it cou%d be eate co%d or hot
depedig o the hemisphere i which you dwe%%"
,o te%% me 9ear Reader, do you pre#er hot or co%d sa%ads- !d do you %ike to be overdressed or uderdressed-
