I have a love-hate relationship with spaghetti squash…..
I love eating it but I hate cooking it.
First – it’s hard.
Really hard.
I use my big cleaver and a mallet to cut it.
Second – it has to be scraped out twice. The initial scraping is to get all the seeds out, then it has to be scraped again … Continue reading.....
This is a lazy dish that looks a bit fancy….. Perfect holiday entertaining.
Well, it is as long as you have leftover spaghetti squash and some tomato sauce in the freezer or pantry.
We are two.
When I cut into a spaghetti or butternut squash I know that we will have enough for at least 2 meals, more likely 3 … Continue reading.....
It’s a strange day today (day after US elections).
As I have no words or, actually, far too many words, I thought I would just share some strange food that I’ve been making.
The first, the pizza, is an actual recipe (now) and worthy of sharing.
I see cauliflower crusts and zucchini crusts….. I have winter squashes.
In particular I … Continue reading.....
I love spaghetti squash.

Something to put lobster in (shudder)?!?!? Why would I do that to lobster?!?
When I’m feeling a bit under the … Continue reading.....
I suppose one could call it an early Christmas present…..
I’d been planning / hoping to get a new computer sometime in the next year or so. Mine was 4 years old and excruciatingly slow. Okay, maybe I have too many programs open at the same time, but that’s the way I like to work.
Mon mari’s computer was … Continue reading.....
The garden has been closed for winter.
The last of the tomatoes made one more batch of soup and the last of the squashes were picked and laid in the sun to cure.
Even though the winter squashes got off to a slow start (apparently they don’t like the dry heat) I managed to harvest 20 butternut squash, 8 spaghetti … Continue reading.....
My last spaghetti squash.
It was a good harvest. I still have onions, shallots and five butternut squash left in the cave.
Five large butternut squash.
I have to admit I’m ready for something else – maybe some broccoli or a cauliflower or even a rutabaga.
Maybe in a few weeks….
We eat what we grow.
Actually, we eat what… Continue reading.....
