I think I have mentioned before that my husband hates most squash with zucchini being the exception. It is odd because he doesn't mind squash soup. The same goes for beets. He hates them as well and maintains that he is allergic but for some reason can eat borscht. I think I smell something fishy....
I loved growing my little acorn squash last year. It was so rewarding to grow and very easy. It did like to spread however, so next year I think I might try and train it to go up instead of out. It meandered onto my garden path so I had to step carefully over it and a wheelbarrow was out of the question.
This year I plan on growing some butternut squash. I think one acorn and one butternut will suffice nicely. I'm getting off topic as usual and have to mention the recipe that changed my husband's squash hating streak. If only I could find one for beets!
I found this recipe on All Recipes and here is the link. Perhaps it was the cheese, everything tastes better with cheese. It makes a lovely side but is quite filling. I made two but of course we could only eat a half of one each so there were leftovers!
The best thing about acorn squash is that they keep really, really well in a cool location. I still have three stored in my basement and they are still fine. I think I had better use them up soon before they spoil. Now that would be a shame.
