Waiter There's Something In My... Gourd

Jeanne at Cooksister is the host for this months fabulous Waiter event. The theme is Gourds. She writes:

"I have decided to go all Halloween on you and pick gourds as the theme. What counts as a gourd? All pumpkins, squashes, zucchini, pattypans and other vegetables growing on vines - in fact any member of the Cucurbitaceae family. (I will allow melons too, even though they weren't part of my original plan!) So I really have left the field wide open - those of you currently experiencing Spring can wow me with your zesty zucchini creations, while those who are experiencing Autumn can pamper me with pumpkin pie.

As usual, here are the rules:

1. Write up your gourd dish on your blog, remembering to include a link back to this announcement in your post.

2. E-mail me. Please make sure that Waiter there's something in my features in the subject line.

3. In the e-mail please include:

the URL of your entry
your blog's name
the name of the dish
your approximate location
4. The deadline for entries is Saturday 1 November and I hope to have the roundup posted later that week.

5. When the roundup is posted, please also include a link to that in your post."
