My Mother called me Cinderella, not because I wore glass slippers, nor for my flare for transforming mice into men, but because I was the oldest child followed by four brothers. Needless to say whenever a house-chore had to be done my Mother would holler, "Cinderella!"
Find a small pumpkin
Cut the top off, keep it as a hat.
Scoop out the seeds, every single one.
Layer the pumpkin cone with the assorted toppings:
Gobs of shredded parmesan
Chunks of crusty bread smothered with glazed golden onions,
Salt, nutmeg and pepper sprinkles
Laced between each layer swirls of white wine and fresh cream (don't be stingy!)
Put in the oven, until it is ready to melt.
Add the top hat and serve with a cane…I mean a spoon.
