The side and the dessert

So, if you're wondering what to serve with a stuffed pumpkin, why not try some stuffed tomatoes (Les tomates farcies), courtesy of Inks over here (and see just how many other stuffed vegetable varieties you can manage as well!).

And while we're at it, I shall give you dessert. One of my passions in life is baked cheesecake. And it has to be baked - I am not so keen on the refrigerated version. So, Apartment Therapy, (which is actually a conglomeration of blogs I have discovered - if you subscribe to it in a reader it is out of control) recently posted a 2-minute microwavable baked lime cheesecake. This might not sound so good to the purist (me included) but other sceptics have given it the thumbs up, and for an after-work dinner for which one doesn't have time to wait for cheesecake to bake, it could be worth it!

And here is an update: Because Nathan just posted what looks like a very interesting Spag Bol (with cream in it).
