squash

I love squash. I must say the lovely colors of the peel/husk/shell, whatever you want to call it, the flavors and well the cooking. I bought some butternut squash Saturday and set to work creating in my kitchen. OOOOOOHHHH the love. I made a wonderful butternut squash and leek soup. It was heavenly, especially since the day was wet and cold. I was able to sit and curl up and eat my soup, which Megan refused but Spencer loved. Spencer also partook of my lovely creation. After putting most of the soup away in the fridge for another day I gave him the pot with the drippings. He is my son. Yep that he is. He sat there and proceeded to eat a half a loaf of bread by dipping it into the soup (which his dad had been doing previously). Oh yes, a complete half loaf of bread. Did I mention it was good? Today we are doing acorn squash (learned from a friend in college, halved, roasted buttered and brown sugared.... yummm)
