Speaking of Squash
D is working from the cottage today and I am a little bit jealous. I have no reason to be, as he was underneath the cottage early this morning, disconnecting our current plumbing, while I was sound asleep in our cozy bed. But I am envious about the idea of working from the cottage in September. So I have done the next best thing and set up on our little back deck in the city and if this drizzle of rain continues, I will move to the gazebo.
But I digress. I first became acquainted with Pit Pat squash when I found it at the St. Norbert market last autumn. The way I prepared it then did not leave a positive impression upon me but when I received it again as part of my Blue Lagoon Garden share, I simply roasted it in canola oil to have with Gourmet Mac and Cheese. I LOVED the taste-more flavourful than zucchini, with a nuttiness and slight acidity not found in other squash. Now of course, I can’t get enough (like roasted beets this summer).
