Those Crazy Gourds

It's butternut squash season... a few hints and tips:  Choose one that's "dusty" looking - shiny means it was picked too soon.  DID YOU KNOW...uncut squash can last up to 3 months at room temperature?!?!?  This is, obviously uncut and skin on.  So if you like it, stock up!  You can be eating squash in February/March when it's all gone from the store!!  Butternut squash lends itself to both sweet and savory preparations.  One of my favorites (surprise) is soup - with sage. Lula wishes you heady gourdy delight!
