This really sounds like a delicious way for me to eat squash. Would this recipe work by substituting honey for the maple syrup?

Well, the problem obviously that my limited Danish experience doesn’t map directly onto English.

Squash are elongated, relatively this things; pumpkins are more rotund. To me.

i think sweet and savory is one of my fave flavor combos. not sure if you had a chance to read a recent piece we did on this (discussing chicken and waffles and why the maple syrup works so well w/ that dish) but also our maple syrup: fake vs. real taste test? you may be interested in it b/c i talk about my love for that bacon dipped in syrup thing i used to do w/ my pancakes when i was little. http://www.weareneverfull.com/whats-that-flavor-a-maple-syrup-taste-test-real-versus-fake/

I am so sorry about your migraines! Ugh. And already the overwhelming nature of so much to share/blog about… well, I am glad today was a good day. And your photos are amazing. I love pictures of squash, art of squash, the colors of fall. Time to hit the kitchen!

I’ve always associated winter squashes with the word “squash”, calling summer squashes “zucchini.” I guess that’s similar to some calling all varieties of winter squash “pumpkin.”

I roasted butternut squash yesterday to use in a soup and it was so good I started eating a couple of pieces before dumping it into the actual soup I wanted to make!!

My tastebuds have developed (deteriorated?) a lot as I’ve grown old(er).

Funny, I don’t think I’d ever have called those “squash”. “Squash” to me at elongated.

I never used to understand squash, but then I grew up in a house that didn’t eat or prepare it. One experience though, shared dorm room (suprisingly well pulled off in this friend’s environ) roasted acorn squash goodness with brown sugar and butter was a moment of love at first bite.

I’m not entirely sure of the savory sweet option, but I think it will probably be worth a try.

P.S. is for Post script (ie after the main body of text), so it would be P.P.S for post post script (for after the post script), that and post script script (P.S.S.) doesn’t really make sense.

I hope the migraines don’t come back.

Yeah, I think I read the whole post over the course of a week. It’s not one that you can blitz through at work…

You’ve gotta check out the Muntz video! :)
