Butternut





I bought a Butternut squash today, and cooked it in the oven a - with butter -
at 375° F for 45 minutes. I then added some cheese to one of the bottom quarters and
had it as a side dish with my omelette dinner.

It tastes quite a bit like sweet potato, but because it also has seeds in it, it is
technically a fruit. Indeed, this is the stuff of many a pancake, pie and cake.

Things can get out of hand; the standard cake recipe on the Net creates a 6,900
calorie coffee cake. WOA!!

So I'm going to be level-headed and freeze the three remaining parts for later meals,
like on rainy days, when the weather is just too sad.
