My mom picked up some weird and disgusting looking pimples and marks to put on your face.…

Roasted Pumpkin w/ tahini sauce
It’s October…which means it’s pumpkin season! Here in Italy you see pumpkins all the time during this month, but mostly for culinary purposes. Halloween is not celebrated as much as in the US so pumpkin decorations are seen less of here. Pumpkins here are mostly used for risotto or soups. I love pumpkin, it’s a comfort…
