...don't have much of an impact on gameplay anyway -- and one entity/effect which should be working but doesn't, and I have no idea why so I've given up on trying to fix it. And this evening I played squash.  My shoulder seems to be pretty good -- nowhere near as bad as my wrist became, back when I was playing last time.  I lost tonight -- 4 games to 3 -- but it was an awesome match!  We played really...

...cream, plus a buttered breadcrumb topping. It was pretty popular at Pumpkin Fest. I'm going to mix the last of my butter-sauteed chanterelles into this for tonight's dinner. White Bean and (Winter Squash) Soup, also from Greens. This is a lovely hearty winter soup, and the Delicata and acorn squashes I used are slightly sweet and very nice. You make a stock from the pumpkin seeds and some other...

This once-a-week cooking thing is working out pretty well. I think I might continue it next month, too. This week, I had: aubergines, two heads of broccoli, two butternut squash, lots of carrots, cavolo nero, celery, courgettes, two small leeks, three large mushrooms, onions (normal + red), two potatoes, and an enormous red pepper. I particularly wanted to make sure I used the celery, leeks...

...doesn't hurt to write over. Very leftie approved. I should write up a formal list of Household Annoyances so it's all in one place and we can find it again. I've been digging at recipes for squash due to the cooking pumpkin. It's got a long ways to go before it goes off, but I'd rather eat it before it has a chance to. If anyone has ideas that do not involve the phrase "peel pumpkin with...

I lied.  I'm posting a "real" recipe after all.  I love autumn and autumn vegetables!  This is a relatively easy way to use pumpkin or similar squashes (acorn squash works very well) for something other than pie and bread.  It's also my easy answer to pumpkin ravioli, one of my all-time favorite dishes. Ingredients 1/2 an acorn squash or small cooking pumpkin 3/4 c chicken broth (you can use bouillon...

My counter runneth over and I am now looking for ways to preserve squash.  I was going to mostly cook, cube and freeze, but I was curious if anyone has specifics or favorite methods for freezing/preserving squash.  My freezer is getting  a touch full so other methods would be useful.  On my counter I have: Butternut Buttercup Acorn Deliqua and a grapefruit sized one that looks like a bumpy pumpkin...
