Butternut Squash

They're pretty fabulous. If you don't like the way they taste, at least they make an appropriate kitchen table decoration now that it's officially fall. If you do like the taste of them... then here are a couple of suggestions:

• Peel, slice in half, take out the seeds with a spoon or a fork, and then...
  
• ...cut in cubes and use in your stir-fry with curry powder or cinnamon
• ...make butternut squash soup (note: if you have a large blender, or a hand held one, it's much much easier than trying to puree the squash in turns)
• ...bake in the oven at 350 degrees, with some yummy butter, salt, pepper, curry or cinnamon mixture. If you have a sweet tooth: add some brown sugar!
