Well, since I can't tell the ripeness of the squash when I buy it, I'm not going to be doing THAT anymore. I spoke to another friend last night, told her the whole story, she burst out laughing and then she said:
"why on earth are you going through all that bother, just do what I do, (she went to Shop Right, she went to the frozen food section, she bought a package of cut up frozen butternut squash".
So believe me, the next time I go to my local BIG supermarket (the others don't sell this stuff, or maybe they do, I've never even looked because who knew?? I'm so busy growing sprouts, I never thought of frozen cubed butternut squash)
So my quest for the perfect butternut squash will have to wait.
Maybe I can grow one in my kitchen, next to my sprouts? " !!!!
lol lol lol
Thanks to all of you for your words of wisdom.
I'll learn to cook eventually!!
