It’s getting cold, and I’m taking the day off to celebrate yesterday’s presidential election.  On my to do list is making a batch of pumpkin bisque.  Recently, I directed a friend to my recipe, when she mentioned hers and she balked, saying it was too complicated.  I flipped out a little.  “Really?” I said, “All you do is roast a pumpkin, saute mirepoix, season it, add broth and herbs, simmer, add pumpkin, add cream and blend. Could it get any simpler without coming from a can?”

I suppose, in retrospect, that I made the recipe look complicated on the bog, so I will dumb it down simplify the recipe and post it here again after I make it today.
