I have to say I am loving fall and winter. I am able to get fresh apples and squash from local farms.
Yesterday, we went to a local squash farm that boasts about having 30 varieties of squash or so. I bought over 50 lbs of squash.. and a few lbs of apples.
Last night, I cooked a blue pumpkin (aka jaradale) by cutting it up, putting it in the microwave to soften it a bit, then put it on a sheet pan and roasting it in the oven sprinkled with a bit of salt and pepper. Then when it was done, I cut it up and we ate it as part of dinner. This morning, I put some of the leftovers in my oatmeal. I also roasted the seeds (after saving a couple) and they are soo good.
So who else is with me on winter squash?
I have a feeling we will be eating squash for a couple months and I plan to roast and freeze the squash we won't eat in the next month.
Here is a picture of the Jaradale
