Favorite kabocha recipes?

In the spirit of autumn almost being here, I was wondering if anyone has any good kabocha recipes to share. Ideally I'd like suggestions that don't need an oven (we don't have one) and don't require deep frying -- for instance, I love kabocha tempura but I don't like the greasy smell in my house, so it's easier to purchase those pre-cooked from my local supermarket.

    Hello there! I usually make kabocha soup, no oven needed but you do need a blitzer or hand blender to get it all smooth. So good and easy to put together plus always a winner with the kids. Serve it with some cheesy toast and it’s the perfect autumn meal (or starter) depending on how big your bowl is

    Its a long time since I cooked pumpkin, but just tonight my Mother-in-law sent in some pumpkin mashed and baked with some milk. It was simple, but nice!

    I do kabocha salad. I cut into chunks and steam them in a basket in a stock pot. I dress them with a dash of soy sauce, a sprinkle of pepper, and a liberal dose of mayonnaise. It's great finished with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or almonds.

    I also so roast thin slices of kabocha in the oven toaster drizzled with soy sauce and a shake of pepper.

    @xen I always forget just how good soup is during autumn! We have an immersion blender so no worries there, and I'm glad you mentioned kid friendly because that's definitely a consideration for me. The cheesy toast sounds like the perfect accompaniment, too!

Is there a limit on daily posts?

Does anyone know if there is a limit on the number of posts we can publish each day? The reason I ask is, yesterday I wrote more than 30 posts, but I realized last night that at least the last two I wrote, have disappeared. They definitely published, but then disappeared a few minutes later. One was about a Santa in Nagoya, the other about Santa in Tamadairanomori. There maybe more but those two are definitely missing.

Where do you visit Santa Claus?

Firstly, do you visit Santa Claus each year in Japan? And if so, where? I've been posting places you can meet Santa Claus in various parts of Japan on the blog section. If you are looking for somewhere to meet him this year, you'll find at least 25 places on City-cost.
