This year Halloween feels very different.
I’m usually wearing a heavy coat by now, but this year I’m still wearing a summer dress.
In October!
Luckily, I was able to find a beautiful organic Kabocha.
It was small, but…
It was good quality!
Look at this beautiful orange color.
They look good already.
But…
I wanted to dress them up a little….
Cinnamon icing, roasted sunflower seeds, and cinnamon powder were added.
Delicious!!
My husband is not a big fan of scones in general because they are often too dry, but he loved these.
Perfect with black coffee.
I used Ms. Nora’s recipe, and I highly recommend it.

*As noted above I used Kabocha squash in place of pumpkin. Also, I used regular white sugar for brown sugar, flax meal/water for apple sauce, and coconut oil for vegan butter. They still turned out fantastic! I didn’t add any spices to the scones, and I only added cinnamon to my icing.
I started reading this book I had found at a Japanese used bookstore.
It’s an old novel, published in 1973.
It became a bestseller, and a TV show has been made based on this book twice.
I’m really loving having time to read.
Another Kabocha dish.
I made this ginger Kabocha soup the other day for lunch.
It was creamy and so good!
Halloween decorations are everywhere in Bangkok too.
It is nice to see these familiar items this time of the year.
