Was it, like, chopped fine and left raw to cook along with other veggie toppings, or was it pumpkin puree as a sauce?<BR/><BR/>Chardlover, I wonder if something besides simple syrup might be interesting. Maybe sorghum?valereeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109328679669048231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145304480917779208.post-16449861907432681372008-12-12T14:03:00.000-05:002008-12-12T14:03:00.000-05:00Barbara,Oh my, pumpkin on pizza does sound delicio...Barbara,<BR/>Oh my, pumpkin on pizza does sound delicious! I hadn't thought of that one! It sounds especially appealing to have while in Australia.....I envy you that experience! <BR/><BR/>An amazing pumpkin dessert that I had at Cafe Mediterranean in Anderson was a slice of pumpkin (the flesh of the squash, skinned and seeded) roasted with simple syrup on it, topped with a little whipped cream. It was wonderful - really light and sweet, with the pure taste of the pumpkin preserved! I'm going to try to re-create this one at home.chardloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848574731277614618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145304480917779208.post-85209754553689386122008-12-05T14:14:00.000-05:002008-12-05T14:14:00.000-05:00I love them, too.

There, it was in full-throated use everywere, on pizza, as stuffing for pasta, roasted.

I would have thought a thing like a winter squash -- long storing, and so MUCH food in each -- would be nearly universally grown.valereeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109328679669048231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145304480917779208.post-32690356326352643372008-12-02T23:07:00.000-05:002008-12-02T23:07:00.000-05:00Distracted - Welcome!

Valeree is the 'eat local' go-to woman, and I'm thrilled to be able to hang onto her apron strings. The Cincinnati Magazine nod was quite an honor, and I hope many more readers find their way here!<BR/><BR/>Maxanna and Jen - Oh, it's good to know there are other squash fans out there! I get a lot of 'just open up a can of Libby's, already!'<BR/><BR/>A new variety to me that I picked up at the farm this week is Sibley - it's green and sort of shaped like an elongated football. It's claim to fame is that it improves in taste upon storage - it's best eaten after the New Year, so they say! I'll let you know!<BR/><BR/>I AM surprised that you weren't able to find squash in Germany, Jen! Many varieties have French names - so they must be plentiful there. Did you have the opportunity to visit any farmers' markets while traveling?chardloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848574731277614618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145304480917779208.post-47721272160080523182008-12-02T17:48:00.000-05:002008-12-02T17:48:00.000-05:00I am a huge squash fan too -- they're so versatile...I am a huge squash fan too -- they're so versatile and with all the different varieties available at the farmer's market, I feel like I could eat a different squash every week for a year with no repeats. <BR/><BR/>Oddly, I was in Germany a few weeks ago and went looking for a butternut squash. I went to three different grocery stores and never found one! I had assumed that squash was enjoyed all over the world, but perhaps I was wrong!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145304480917779208.post-73111711465033900332008-12-02T13:44:00.000-05:002008-12-02T13:44:00.000-05:00This recipe looks marvelous- and I'm going to try ...This recipe looks marvelous- and I'm going to try it soon.
