HAPPY BIRTHDAY DORIE !!!
On the occasion of our favourite cookbook author Holly of PheMOMenon had the great idea of inviting Dorie to a birthday dinner (unfortunately only virtual) cooked following some of the recipes from 'Around My French Table'.
I joined Tuesdays with Dorie, the group genially created by Laurie of slush, more than two years ago and it has been such a wonderful sequence of wonderful recipes I simply had to join French Fridays with Dorie too and it is a very promising experience having read the wonderful book we will be cooking from.
We were free to choose and this pumpkin which looks like a surprise present.
I got a Pumpkin called Mantovana (from Mantua where they make wonderful ravioli with it) and following Dorie's recipe I cut a lid, took the seeds out and filled the pumpkin with cheese, bread, thyme, bacon, and cream.
After the pumpkin has cooked in the oven VOILA' a wonderful dinner treat !
This little bobbin lace is a Binche Lace one of my favourite bobbin ones. I worked on it yesterday and wish to add it to my surprise present for Dorie.
AUGURI DI BUON COMPLEANNO !!!

The pumpkin looks so delicious! Lovely lace too!
What a great pick for a fall birthday dinner! And the lace is so beautiful.
I'll have to take a closer look at that recipe--everything going into it sounds really good. The lace is beautiful--I tat, but what I end up with is a very different-looking sort of lace.
That pumpkin looks amazing; I will be making it at some point this fall. Oh, and the lace is so pretty too, what a wonderful virtual present for Dorie!
Wow... what a beautiful dish!
The lace is lovely...what a nice sentiment. I loved making a veggie side dish too...happy birthday to Dorie and hooray to all of us!
One of my favorite recipes AND that beautiful piece of lace. I really can't thank you enough. Mille grazie and many, many mercis too.
That pumpkin looks like such a fun thing to eat! Such a fun thing to participate in--Dorie's birthday.
this pumpkin dish would definitely make for an impressive and fun side dish for dinner guests! Beautiful!
