October’s full moon tonight is the Hunter’s Moon, fascinating to watch as it rises and lights up our skies.

Also it’s the annual illuminated boat parade from Drakeholes to Clayworth, on the Chesterfield Canal, hopefully the rain will hold off. 🤞

Amidst the blustery weather today……..

Python the work boat and team of volunteers were out in full force working hard. Huge thanks to them all 👏👏👏

Batch of cherry scones (for the crew) baked and delivered, warm with butter! 😋

A walk round the ruins of James Varley’s cottage…
James Brindley canal engineer’s right hand man, who in the 1770’s completed the Chesterfield Canal. Amazing that we walked in his footsteps over the original bridge over the feeder to the Chesterfield Canal, to his cottage, now ruins and part of an overgrown woodland.

Tea was two tray baked delicious Autumn combinations…..

Potato, leek, bacon, sage, cheese. 😋😋

Butternut squash, cauliflower, coconut, currry spices. 😋

Treats for the volunteers, they are busy with another day out on Python the workboat looking after our Chesterfield Canal. 😀

Swapping the carrots for squash, these seasonal bakes are delicious and quick and easy to make, just everything together in one bowl! 😋

Butternut Squash muffins are perfect for this time of year, moist and delicious with a hint of cinnamon.
🧡🤎🧡

The frosting is a simple mixture of sifted icing sugar with a little butter and orange zest and juice, it compliments the taste of these delicious treats perfectly! 😋

BUTTERNUT SQUASH MUFFINS

400g butternut squash, skin on, deseeded and roughly chopped 350g light soft brown sugar
4 large eggs
Pinch of sea salt
300g plain flour, unsifted
2 heaped tsp baking powder
Handful of walnuts, finely chopped.
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
175ml extra virgin olive oil

Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas 4. Line a muffin tin with paper cases.
Grate or whiz the squash in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the sugar, and crack in the eggs. Add a pinch of salt, the flour, baking powder, walnuts, cinnamon and olive oil and combine together without over mixing.
Fill the paper cases with the cake mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Check to see whether they are cooked properly by sticking a wooden skewer or a knife right into one of the cakes - if it comes out clean, they're done. If it's a bit sticky, pop them back into the oven for a little longer. Remove from the oven and leave the cakes to cool on a wire rack.

Frosting optional.

Pumpkin Curry

Very easy, get everything chopped and measured then you're ready to go! I did mine on the gas hob, but you could easily do a one pot slow cooker, or over the stove.
This one isn't too hot on spices so if you like more of a kick add more chilli and less coconut and tomato. Also you'll either need a large pan or less pumpkin! Spinach or chick peas added at the end will make this dish go further, enough for two meals out of this, which I'm sure will taste better the next day as it always does! 😋

Recipe in first comment. 😋
