| Jamaican Pumpkin Soup |
.2lb (900g) pumpkin, 1 medium onion, 1 medium carrot
2 cloves garlic, 1oz (25g) butter 1.75 pints (1l) chicken stock, Quarter pint (150ml)
single cream, Salt & pepper to taste, Chopped Parsley, Freshly Grated Nutmeg
Using a sharp knife cut away the skin from the Pumpkin and scoop out the seeds. Chop the
flesh into 1in (25mm) chunks, peel and slice the onion and carrot, skin and crush the
garlic. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat and saute the onion for
5minutes, until it is soft and just beginning to brown, add the chopped Pumpkin, carrot
and garlic and cook for a further 5 minutes. Stir in the stock and bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 20minutes, stirring occasionally until the
Pumpkin is tender. Cool slightly, then puree in a liquidiser or press through a sieve.
Return to the pan and stir in the cream with salt & pepper to taste. Reheat
thoroughly, but do not allow to boil again, then sprinkle in the chopped parsley and a
good sprinkling of grated nutmeg. Serve with crusty bread. |

On Wednesday 8th October at Southlands Hotel, Olivia's
held a fashion show in aid of the Alzheimer's Charity. Although it was a cold, wet, windy
day, over 130 people arrived at hotel to watch and support the show. The clothes featured
were the New Autumn Designs and eight people modelled 64 outfits.
Pam Dennis who works at Olivia's was one of the models, her husband, John Dennis who is
Captain of Sheringham Golf Club chose the Alzheimer's Charity. |
He started raising money at the end of March and has given
himself a target of reaching £5000 by next March. Over £900 was raised by the Fashion
Show and £248 was raised in the raffle.
This brings the total so far to around £4000 for the charity. If you wish to make a
donation, please contact Pam at Olivia's. |

trying to fund equipment for an outside play area which will enable the children to play
