Memoirs of a Bug Trapper

Priscilla pumkin soup

Filed under: Memiors of a Bug Trapper — Garden Lulu at 11:11 pm on Saturday, August 26, 2006

While out on my route today, I saw one of my gardeners pulling the shoots off the end of her pumpkins, so just before I left her garden plot I asked what she did with them. She said in her culture they take the tips of the pumpkin shoots and blanch them and strip the membrane and then when they have enough to make soup. They don’t do anything with the pumpkin itself they just use the shoots. She uses coconut milk, chicken, and pumpkin shoots. She says it’s simple but good. She also gave me a jar of kimchee base and rice seasoning for California rolls it. I really enjoy all the different people I meet.
It’s funny just before I started this job I drew a pencil sketch of a women that reminds me of Priscilla - here it is below. Also, if you try the pumpkin soup let me know what you think?

I love this pencil sketch. I think she would be cool done in water color or oils. She has such personality/
Keep up the good work
