WD,

You had mentioned about trying to make some home made pasta. Here's a video to give you some ideas.

Thank you, Bill. I bookmarked it.

Good morning, Bart. Does that mean you are grounded?

 

[WannaDig3687]

Mornin all!

Mrs. W.D.:
We ate the last of the acorn squash yesterday.
Split in half , remove seeds/guts.
Onto baking sheet skin side down/flesh side up with a parchment liner.
Brown sugar and butter in hollows.
Bake till yummy.

Maple syrup could go with butter instead of sugar.

Pumpkin has lots of uses. Once cooked it can be added to lots of recipes. Frozen in ice cube tray here for dogs now and then. But such small amount as a cube of pumpkin can go un noticed in many dishes too.

I've not tried it like squash in soup....A small amount of cubes maybe?

Great , now I'm hungry...

Oh geesh where to begin?

OK ok. First, Good morning, releventchair.

Secondly, thank you. Our friends sort of told me the same thing, but left out some directions. Question: when you say

with a parchment liner.

do you mean on the cookie sheet or covering the flesh side?

When I looked it up, I found recipes more like what I did with the zucchini and I wanted more of a sweet dish.

Pumpkin pie is a definite! But I am liking the idea of pumpkin muffins and cookies!

And roasted seeds. MMMMM mmmmm!

Lastly, I have no dog, no cat. Fish in the pond is the closest to a pet we have. MR WD is not a pet friendly master. Mostly because of our lifestyle, always on the go. He doesn't like cats and dogs don't like him much. I did manage dogs, cats, bunnies and an aquarium when we had kids at home. When the kids moved out we had the daughter's dog and the son's cat. The cat ended up dying from a cancer that is common to cats who get rabies shot. The daughter eventually took her dog and nursed him to a ripe old age of 22 or 23. A pug, if you can believe that. Anyway, we are a pet free household.

Good morning, Doubter. Hmm... I didn't think of a killer rabbit.

The parchment is just a liner on top of the pan/sheet to make it easier for me to clean if any sugar gets leaked onto it and turns to concrete carbon. L.o.l..

WD,

That's a load of squash and pumpkin. If kept in a cool place they'll last the entire winter and you can make lots of different dishes with them including soups, roasted and cookies, muffins, pancakes, etc...

We use the rectangular pyrex dishes, put the brown non-waxed parchment paper as a liner.
Cut squash in half, take the seeds out (dry them) turn cut side down. When the fluids are surrounding squash it's done. Remove from oven let stand for 10 minutes, the squash sucks most of the fluid up again. Serve, salt/pepper/butter.
Yams the same way in half, and when the liquid hardens it turns into yam candy.

Cut side down?
Dang. Now I gotta try it.
Even as a kid , Mom baked them flesh side up.
Live , learn, experiment more , I guess!

It’s in the oven now. Time will tell.

They are little pumpkins and a few are still green. Good enough to decorate with though. Nice to know about the storage. If I don’t get to them all, I will put them in the basement.

Harden them first, they'll last longer.

"Curing also causes the skin or rind of winter squash to become harder. Hard skin slows respiration, helps the stored squash resist rot and collapse, and allows long storage. Cure squash and pumpkins for 10 days at temperatures between 80°F and 85°F and relative humidity of 80 to 85 percent."

Good to know, but I don’t think that’s doable this year.
