Awww....that is so cute! Does this mean the skin is too thick to eat? In your research, did anything explain what the difference is between and gourd and a squash?

Carolyn....your recipe sounds delicious too. If you slice them lenghwise, you won't lose so many between the grates. Or, get yourself a fish basket for grilling.....or toothpicks (2 in each piece) but you have to cut them thick enough to run the toothpicks thru without breaking the slices. Easiest is cutting lengthwise. Yum Yum! I'm so anxious to see how these all turn out. Bobbi, remember when making your meatloaf that adding the squash will put plenty of moisture in. I use lots of tomatoes, onions and mushrooms too which add even more moisture. You lucky lady, growing your own tomatoes! I have a neighbor that had a tomato plant and it took every bit of will power to not steal one. I didn't and pray she didn't let them go to waste.

Dang, it's 2:30 am and I'm hungry now but much too tired to do anything about it.

Happy Cooking Bobbi
