Squash Tonight
Last Saturday when we drove over to Union City to take the house picture to the people, we went a couple blocks further into the town and stopped at a little Mom and Pop fruit store. I don't remember what I was really looking for but I ended up buying two squash, just little ones. One was a butternut and the other an acorn squash. Tonight I cut open the butternut squash and nuked it, a few minutes at a time till it was tender, about 14 minutes in all. We ate 2/3 of it and should finish it off tomorrow or Sunday.
Squash is something I like in small quantities. I really like it the first couple times in the season and then I feel satisfied that I've had enough.
I'd buy a spaghetti squash if I could find one. That's really good and I didn't get tired of it when I had it one year.

I have a recipe for butternut squash soup that I've been anxious to try and had forgotten about it until reading your entry.
A friend made us spaghetti squash once -- first and only time I've ever had it -- and it was delicious.
