The last time we were at my parents’ house, my dad gave Lucas one of the butternut squashes he grew in his garden this year.

So the next week, I cooked it in the microwave like he told me, just like a baked potato: poke a bunch of holes in it and cook it about 10 minutes.

When I cut it open, it looked like a pumpkin on the inside. Lucas and Kevin both liked it a lot. They both said it tasted like sweet potato.

If I cook one again, I’ll probably scoop the squash off the inside wall, rather than just cut it up with the rind, or whatever it’s called in squash. It was just SO hot that I had a hard time touching it enough to cut it off.

You may have noticed I’m not big on cooking veggies. It’s usually cans and frozen around here..
