I really like cooking - and experiments (yet not always rest of my family appreciate them)
Lately I made plenty of dishes with pumpkin - a specially Red kuri squash (Hokkaido pumpkin) eg.
- beef stew with pumpkin - served with buckwheat or rice
- pumpkin casserole with pork and peppers (whole sprinkled with cheese)
- pumpkin fries
- pumpkin cream soup served with peas puff
Neat dish are beer-pancakes (beer instead milk) stuffed with mushrooms, bacon and cheese
I'm quite proud of my stuffed peppers - with meat, couscous and corn

Speaking of pizza - I personally prefer thin crust.
One of my favorite homemade-pizzas is: with salsa instead tomato sauce,
with thick slices of salami, onion, corn + extra cheese inside the edges.
Second one - is sold in restaurant nearby my apartment:
with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, long-ripening ham, pear,
chilli, gorgonzola cheese and oregano
