Glad you rescued the butternut. It's my favorite squash, although yellow summer squash runs it a close second!

Did I mention that I cant find good cast iron that is made in the USA? I have looked and looked. So frustrating.

The Butternut is my favorite too. A friend makes Spaghetti squash baked, scooped out, mixed with some canned plum tomatoes that have been blenderized (its late, you get the picture) then she pours the mixture in a baking dish, tops with shredded mozzerella and bakes. Good stuff.

Acorn squash is my second favorite. I love it. I cut it in half, scoop out the seeds then bake in a baking dish that I have filled with an inch of water. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 40 mins @ 350. Saute' some sweet onions, scoop out the squash, mix in the onions, a little nutmeg (very little) brown sugar, butter, salt and pepper. Makes a nice warm side dish on a cold winter night.

Quesadillias...Aye..a staff favorite at work this summer. I burnt out on them. Ha.

Yeah...I burnt out on a few things this summer. Eggs too.

Never made so many omelettes in all of my days.
