I used to love spaghetti squash with some nice Italian sauce on top. Two great favors. Yum. DH makes turnips with bacon fried and cut up and potatoes,all veggies mashed together (maybe boiled carrots too) with butter & milk, some salt and pepper. Great!!!

We don't do potatoes much any more...they being in the nightshade family make my feet burn more. But when I was a kid I used to mash up veggies like that in potatoes all the time. The bacon would be a nice touch!

Do you have ANY idea what using a hammer would do to my hands? I'm laughing just thinking about it. I try and not use hammers or anything that vibrates because a long long time ago I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel (I can type 145 words a minute), and I wouldn't advise anyone to type that fast). I ruined my wrists. So I'm really careful with my hands. i won't be using hammers and chisels and anything on any butternuts. lol lol lol Melody

Check out your hardware store and you will see what I mean. I wouldn't be without it. I also type fast and always have. No problems with that now or years back when it was the old manual typewriter. Computers are a whiz to use nowadays. Not at all like even the old electric typewriters. At least for me

so when you described the hammer, I went to my tool box and sure enough, there was my rubber hammer. I've never had occasion to use it because I have other hammers and Alan used those to put together some stuff. I haven't hammered anything in quite some time. So when I try again to do the butternut squash thing, I'll know what hammer to use. MY DEADBLOW HAMMER!!! lol. Thanks much

Hey, Mel...
Costco this week had containers of cubed peeled butternut squash for sale. First time I've seen them offer this. So I bought some and made a bit of it with our Salmon 2 nights ago. What I did because it was a small amount...was steam it. I have a small microwave steamer, and I did them for 8min on high and they came out very flavorful. You might try that way instead of boiling. When I make whole squash, I bake them face down after splitting in half until fork tender. But cubed like this, the steamer seemed easier. (you brush them with a bit of butter before baking--this brings out the flavor more).

I do the same - split them in half and bake face down until fork tender. Delicious

Salmon?
The fastest and easiest I like to make (in summer we sometimes grill it)... is poach/steam mix. Hubby has a fish hatred... so I have to get it as unfishy as possible. I sautee some sweet onions and Crimini mushrooms (not too many) and remove them from the pan (I garnish with these). I cut thin slivers of fresh lemon and put them in the pan with a tiny bit of water--2 or 3 tablespoons, put the salmon on top and sprinkle with MrsDash lemon pepper...cover for about 4 minutes on med high. A very fast easy one pan thing. The water never touches the fish as it is sitting on the lemons. We try to have fresh veggies with this, so it is either French green beans, or the squash, or whatever is available. I'll do frozen if I have to. I cooked our Whitefish this way all summer and it was faster and better tasting than grilled I think. If I bake the fish instead of poach, I use blood oranges or regular instead of lemon. (I saw Martha do that once-- and they come out nice too.) When I use the citrus...the fishy quality is reduced and hubby will eat it. That is my main goal. He is fussy. It is a quick easy meal. I try to keep a couple of frozen salmon fillets in the freezer...Costco sells a long rack of it, so I cut it into 2 person portions and freeze.
