Great shot Sarah Elizabeth. Lots of character. Hmm, are you sick of pumpkin soup? I like it with some cummin and coriander in it for a bit of a change :)
Try this recipe for pumpkin risotto, it's FAB http://www.supersavvyme.com/article/food/recipes/economy-gastronomy_pumpkin-risotto-with-roasted-walnuts-red-chicory-and-gorgonzola.aspx
I added some bacon bits as I was cooking for a confirmed meat-eater (I am too, but I like variety).
From the same pumpkin you can also make cannelloni http://cooksterella.blogspot.com/2009/10/pumpkin-sage-and-ricotta-cannelloni.html
You should make beef and rice pumpkin casserole. I actually don't have the recipe (although I am sure it is on-line). Basically, it is ground beef, seasoned rice, pumpkin finely chopped, sesasoning and you cook it inside of the scooped-out pumpkin. It was wonderful (had it at a friend's Halloween party).
Sarah's idea of pumpkin risotto for sure. That sounds so good on this foggy morning in California. Use some pancetta in it too and leeks instead of onion.
I may have to do this for dinner myself but I have no fresh pumpkin like you!
Sarah, lovely photo - can't say I've ever attempted to make pumpkin pie, but it sounds delish. One thing we do often is a side dish - mashing pumpkin and feta cheese together. Very tasty and simple.
Sarah, I'm writing an article for the International Herald Tribune/New York Times about great home restorations blogs, and I'd like to interview you. Can you please email me at roxana.popescu [at] gmail.com so I can tell you more about the story and we can set up a time to speak? I wasn't able to find your email address online. My deadline is this week, so if you could get back to me soon I'd appreciate it. Grazie e a presto, spero! Roxana www.roxanapopescu.com

What a beautiful pumpkin! It is almost a shame to do anything to it, but I do love me some pumpkin pie! Happy weekend to you as well1

Pumpkin soup or pumpkin pie :) I have a recipe for pumpkin tiramisu and although I was very very sceptical at first, it tasted heavenly.

Great photo. Pumpkin soup would be my choice.

Thanks for all of the recipe ideas. They all sound delicious. Hopefully the pumpkin is big enough to give more than one of them a try.
