First he hollowed out the squash as if he was making jack o'lanterns. Setting those aside, he sauteed the beef in olive oil with some garlic and onions. (He also threw in some corn we had left from the previous week.) In a separate pot, he cooked up some couscous with garlic and herbs. Once the couscous was done, he combined it with the meat and mixed in some cheese.
Finally, he topped them with homemade tomato sauce. He really liked how this came out and said it was just as good reheated a few days later. He will make this again!
Using our food processor, it took no time at all to shred all the squash. Ger then scooped two cups per bag, just enough for a batch of bread. From everything I've read on the internet, you don't have to worry about blanching it if you're freezing it shredded, so what could be easier?
Quick Draw McGraw had a dog named Snuffles. When Snuffles was given a dog biscuit, he would hug himself and float up in the air and generally throw a fit of joy, because he loved them so much. That's about how I feel about these muffins. Mmmm mmmm mmmm...floating back down to earth.
Yes, I allow my cat on the dining room table. I promise I'll clean it well if I invite you over for dinner.
But more importantly, the salad greens. For the past few weeks we've received a bag of salad in our share, washed and ready to eat. Bagged salads are popular at the grocery store for a reason! It is so convenient. Gerry and I both love it. Thumbs up for that idea, Myerov Farm!
Different colors, different sizes, different shapes. Sadly, I don't know one from the other. I was looking for Mr. Stripey, though, because I've been following his progress over the past couple of months. I first spotted him as a mere sprout in the greenhouse.
We've been eatin' good lately, but haven't tried a lot of new dishes. Gerry's been doing one "dump it all in" dish a week, but I don't want to bore you with the same thing over and over. However, this is an innovation. He called it squashsagne, because he cut the squash into thin strips lengthwise and then layered it in with cheese, sauce, etc. just like a lasagne!
Two things we learned from this dish:
1. We shouldn't have donated the mandoline to the thrift store.
2. Gerry hates eggplant. I hadn't tried it yet, but I'm thinking I may skip that one now.
