Squash

We bought some squash in Keremeos. I'd never cooked squash and wanted to try. We got a gold nugget, a yellow patty pan or scallopini and a yellow summer squash. They were all fairly small so I took the first two and stabbed each with a fork a few times, then threw them in the oven. It didn't take long for them to be done. Apparently you can eat the skin but I read that too late and didn't wash them well enough.

I peeled, gutted and sectioned them, mixing the pieces with butter and salt and pepper. To my surprise, the kids liked them, although the scallopini tasted a bit too much like pumpkin, unlike the gold nugget which looked more like a small pumpkin.

It turned out to be a hit and now I can't wait for the Saanich Fair so that we can get a few more varieties of squash to try out. I'd love to try and make some soup.
