Pumpkin hunting in the wild continues. We seem to have gone from unbearably and unseasonably hot September to typical autumn weather overnight. We even had pumpkin soup last night. That’s a bowl of golden autumn goodness right there! ![]()

Dramatic sky today as I did a treasure hunt for pumpkins among the weeds and planted out more seedlings. I was sure it was about to rain all day and it held off until 5:30 when I was flagging anyway. Very considerate storm clouds! ![]()

One of my favorite dishes is mushroom rice. ![]()
![]()
I use 3 cups of 50% polished rice to 2 cups of mochi rice and maitake mushrooms. Usually I would use more but we only had half a pack left.![]()

Add everything to the rice cooker and add a splash of mentsuyu noodle sauce (this is inauthentic as you should mix your own mix of sake and soy sauce but I like easy)![]()

Then just cook as normal in the rice cooker and serve with lashings of fresh cracked black pepper. Yum! ![]()

Getting artistic with my spaghetti squash. As the brutal summer slowly gentles into autumn the plants that were just surviving have started thriving and have such beautiful verdant green leaves. What a pity they have so little time to thrive before the frost takes them out. ![]()

Still, appreciate the moment is how I approach it all and so we have spaghetti squash reclining with new growth.![]()

Still life with autumn leaf. This leaf hitchhiked a ride back from the rhubarb patch and it seemed rather autumnal. The spade could have been cropped out for artistic purposes but then I would lose the fact that I also dug out the piece of board that’s been keeping the water in the rice paddy all season today too. So autumnal it makes me wistful for summer. Then I remember it’s still 30 degrees and this seems to be the summer that never ends! #naganonaturally #growingrhubarb #autumnishere
