Hey everyone,

With Halloween just around the corner it's time to show off your carving skills with some traditional pumpkin carving!

We'd love to see your creative efforts this Halloween so feel free to go mad with you carving! You can do a traditional scary face, something mobile or O2 related or something completely off the wall and unique.

The Community team will be posting our carving very soon!

Excellent.
Now, as not many people know, pumpkins are actually record breakers, for the wrong reasons...
They are the UK's most wasted food item.
So, as I'm now green n shiz.
Here's a recipe for pumpkin soup.

Ingredients (serves two):

700g of pumpkin, skinned and chopped into 2cm pieces
25g of butter
One medium onion, chopped
275ml of double cream or full-fat milk
275ml of stock
salt and pepper
How to make:

Melt butter in deep saucepan on medium heat
Add onion and stir until soft
Add pumpkin
Season well with salt and pepper
Lower the heat and leave for around 10 minutes, letting the vegetables sweat
Pour in cream/milk
Cover pan and let the mixture simmer gently for around 20 minutes
Pour in food processor/blender and puree - it doesn't need to be completely smooth, so don't worry if there's still a bit of texture
Serve soup, when hot.

That sounds delicious @viridis! I'll have to add this one to my recipe book.

That's a very well carved pumpkin @Bambino! The likeness is uncanny.

Speaking of Halloween, thought I'd give Resident evil 7 on PSVR a go last night....
Didn't sleep a wink. Bloody horrific in VR
