Acorn Squash is one of my favorite fall vegetables. I made some for dinner tonight and didn't get to take any pictures for my post! I bake these very simply by cutting in half, scooping out the seeds and putting a couple teaspoons of butter and a teaspoon or two of brown sugar in the center. Then I bake in a 350 degree oven for an hour.
When I was buying them at the store the girl at the counter asked how to cook them and asked what they tasted like. It was hard to explain the taste. I tried to say it was kind of like pumpkin but not quite as sweet but the texture isn't the same. It was hard to describe but I told her that if she liked sweet potatoes she would like squash. Of course what doesn't taste good with brown sugar and butter.
After dinner my husband and I went to McDonalds for an ice cream cone. The clerk told us that they are no longer serving them. I guess summer really is over. I'm going to miss those .49 cent cones.
The other morning I was able to snap a quick picture of my morning glories. They are still making their appearance even though the weather is dropping to the 40's at night. They are so pretty when they open.
I plan to get a lot accomplished this weekend. I still have a closet to arrange, I have three of four plastic bags on my bedroom floor filled with things to make some fall projects and probably some in said closet. I plan to empty those bags this weekend. Since we won't have a Bears game on Sunday I should have nothing to distract me.
Until tomorrow,
Debbie
