Last harvest before the frost!

That is only one representative of the large quantity of white pattypan squash we have left! They do keep quite well though. Alas, the butternut squashes did not have time to fully ripen. Nor did the acorn squashes on the table, but there were five mature ones we already harvested, so I'll get to taste them how they properly should be, at least (I've never had acorn squash before!). Still in the garden is the frost-hardy stuff: leeks, parsnips, swedes, salsify, brussel sprouts, kale, etc. ALTHOUGH I just thought to double-check how frost-hardy swedes are, and hmm, not actually so much, so this post was interrupted by going out to put fabric over them. I suppose we should harvest them tomorrow.

Mmmmm.

This acorn squash recipe is easy and tasty.

Huh, I thought at first that dish looked like a dessert, but it seems not?

The recipe began

its life as a Thanksgiving side, where sweet-savory is part of the tradition.

I ate it as a dessert, but some folks are happy to eat it with the main course.

(Tragically, I can no longer eat squash, among too many other things. Joys of age.)
