Oh my goodness, this looks divine. That cookbook has been on my list to buy since it came out...I have to get on that! For now, I will content myself with making this recipe immediately if not sooner. Thank you for sharing!

In relation to how much pumpkin is in 10.5 ounces, and having (a few years ago) roasted an 18 pound pumpkin with overly ambitious plans to eat all of it, I can tell you that a pumpkin usually yields a cup per pound. This might have resulted in your "mashed potato" like center, but it sounds as if the consistency is right where you want it, so don't change it!

Hi friends!

Forgot to mention a few things.
1. Since we don't have a scale, we totally had to guess with what 10.5 ounces of pumpkin looked like. Once, it was steamed and puréed, 1 cup looked about right. And since it turned out so well, I would definitely say 1 cup works.

2. The nail color is vermillionaire by Essie.

OK, byyyye!

my cast iron skillet is begging me to make this!

Thanks Deuce, I want to see more of YOUR photography!

This batch of seeds is spent; however, I'm sure I'll be making more. When I do, I'll save ya one of my patent pending "sac-o-seeds."

This is totally obvious, but your photographer has been on a Calvin Johnson-esque run of late.

Also, I want some seeds!

The beautiful scones would go perfectly with the fall leaves we can see out our window. They look and sound delicious! We love Bon Appetempt!

Nice post...Tu receta me viene como anillo al dedo… la semana pasada compramos los pumkins para la decoración de halloween y el fin de semana mientras los cortábamos nos dimos cuenta que estaban un poco maduros para la decoración y decidimos cortarlos y hornearlos con un poco de azúcar morena y aceite de oliva. Deliciosos…pero es tanto que estaba buscando en el internet algunas ideas y mira…te garantizo que esta es la cena de esta noche…ya te contare el resultado.

Hello...who cares about the scones, your nails look awesome. I seriously cannot wait to try this recipe. Just cannot get enough pumpkin or squash right now. Super excited for a scone that taste more like mashed potatoes. Love Nigel Slater too. Have you seen "Toast" yet? It was in and out of theatres so fast, maybe there is an art house in LA still playing it. I'm totally going to bon appetempt this entry, starting by painting my nails then cooking.

@Neal you know us too well!! what remains of Matt's special seeds are in a bowl on the kitchen table as I type this.

@those who mentioned the color: Yes, Nigel's are definitely a nice, bright orange. I suspect this is because he used a perfect little pumpkin from his vegetable patch, whereas Matt (no offense!) bought a huge pumpkin from a chain grocery store in hopes to collect as many seeds for his aforementioned "special seeds." That is my best guess... If you guys have other ideas, please let me know!

In other news, I just had a scone for lunch and it was just as good as I'd remembered from 24 hours ago! You guys must make this asap!

I assume this meal also provided Matt an opportunity to make "Matt's famous roasted pumpkin seeds."

Oh I've been dying to get this book for so long and you are pushing my need to have it over the edge. I'm also thinking your nail color is fantastic.
