I would like to HAVE a Butternut Squash - But THEN what?

We had a lovely new customer today - a Montessori teacher...she has read Barbara Kingsolver's book (Animal, Vegetable, Miracle....in case you haven't seen this reference before on this blog - buy it, read it). She is searching for food, organically grown if possible - within 100 miles of where she lives (that's kind of the premise of the book). Like many people, she wants to eat seasonally, but there are seasonal vegetables she really hasn't cooked before. For her, and for all of you out there who come by to see what's up on the farm, here is your first Winter Squash Recipe. It's not the most artful scanning known to man, but it will do, and there will be more, hopefully tomorrow.
I think this will be helpful. And, if any of our customers out there have a recipe they would like to share, PLEASE DO!. PS; to our customer on Saturday, who was buying summer squash to do the Thanksgiving 'spinach and bread crumbs and anise' etc. stuffed squash...please send me the recipe and I'll post it...a pic would be fabulous, but if you can't that's ok too).

The Squash Artist

so...I asked Will to arrange the squash so I could take a picture, so I could send an update to our email list. You know how it is...once you have yellow squash and zucchini, you have more and more and more of it every day until it's like a bad dream. And it doesn't 'put up' well'. So. One must alert the customers, so that this beautiful food doesn't go to waste. I asked Will, because he is the family 'Master of Vegetable Arrangements'. And, in my opinion, this is proof.
