Squash?, Yes, Squash Pie

Butternut Squash Pie with Fork Marks

Okay, I should have used a toothpick

When we harvested our butternut squash last October, we still needed to cure them.  Some did well, others not so well.  In an effort to save what was salvagable, I cut off the bad parts, scooped out the seeds, and roasted the flesh for about an hour.  Scooped out the flesh and froze it. 

We had invited friends for dinner and here I go again . .  I wanted to try a squash pie recipe that I found on the internet.  It came from About.com - Southern Food.  Lots of good recipes and you can read the reviews. 

Here's the recipe:

Cowboy Trail Farm CSA Registration Open

Wow, it it really January?  We've been having such warm days it's really hard to believe.  It feels like spring but we know that there's at least one more cold spell before we can officially spring has sprung.

I'm sure you are all craving farm fresh naturally grown produce and not the stuff from down south.  Cowboy Trail Farm has put out their application form for 2012. 

Butternut Squash Curry

Butternut Squash - My Favorite Winter Squash

Tikva invited us for a curry dinner at her house.  I asked what could I bring?  She said anything that's in season.  Well, not a whole lot right now for us at the farm.  But, we did have some butternut squash in storage.  And I was reading the 2012 Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Catalog and remembered seeing a recipe for butternut squash curry.  Hmmm . . .   a good opportunity to try it and it would probably go well with the other curry flavors of the meal.

Do you do this do?  Try a new recipe when you're going to someones home and are meeting some people for the very first time?  Tikva's son and daughter-in-law were visiting from Baltimore.
