stuffed patisson and raking leafs

a wonderful autumn lunch of stuffed patisson, has been served today.
the filling consisted of ground beef, red lentils, fresh tomatoes and of course onion and garlic is a must, some wonderful herbs and spices from the garden and toward the end i added a good bit of grated parmesan (under the lid). the patisson was cooked in all the above mentioned ingredients for about one hour in the cast iron pot on the stove top. and i served it with red rice, a wonderful kind of rice which we all like as it has just a bit more taste to it.
well even my kids who do not like the pumpkin kind of foods didn't mind it too much and loved the meaty sauce a lot. maybe this has been the last of my patissons, though pumpkins are just coming in here in switzerland, as we have had a very mild october and no frost was in the forecast at all (we really didn't have frost yet, which is surprising). the past two years we already had the first snow by october 27th!

and then, we wentured on, out into the garden to rake the leafs, what more do i want then this! sunshine, and happy helping kids! the best thing for a midweek day at the end of october.
