So 4 weeks ago when I was grocery shopping at Thanksgiving, I realized that I had never really eaten many of the autumn vegetables. I got the ambitious idea to try making some, even though I'd never really eaten them before. So here's my attempt to make acorn squash (though I'm not even sure if it counts as a vegetable...?). I kiind of let it sit around for a few weeks, so I was debatin whether it would still even be good to eat, but turns out it was!
It was a super easy recipe - ingredients = brown sugar, maple syrup (roommate's), margarine. The most interesting thing, I think, is trying to cut the damn thing open. I have this huge knife that I looooove because it cuts through carrots like cotton candy, but it took me FOREVER to cut the squash open! I think there must be a better (and probably safer) technique that I missed somehwere. Anyway, after cutting it, I made cuts on the inside so that the ingredients could seep in. And they also all sink to the bottom, so apparently you're supposed to drizzle the most on top (though it'll sink in anyway).
So here it is, sitting next to a leg of chicken I made (but not very excitingly... with bbq sauce). I'm proud to say the meal was decent, and my hopes for making autumn food weren't squashed =)
