As long as I'm here, I will tell you I learned how to cook an acorn squash. You cut it in half, top to bottom, and scrape out the seeds. Put the cut side down on a baking pan with sides. Add water (1/2 inch?) to the bottom of the pan. Bake at 350 for an hour or as long as it takes for the squash to be soft when poked by a fork. When it is soft, scrape out the inside yellow part and put in a bowl. Top with butter and a handfull of brown sugar and mash with a fork. Taste and add more sugar if you want it sweeter. The older I get, the more vegetables I like. Cooking does not come easy for me. I have no sense of timing or how to season things. Perhaps I am just distracted by other things. Tucker has a way of putting his head on my lap, or on my computer, and staring at me with his big, brown eyes. How can you not pet such a pleading dog?
