Eep - your squashes come waxed???

I guess I haven't bought a supermarket squash for a long, long time. I'm loving the ones from the farmers' market - no-spray, no wax, sometimes not even washed. A quick trip through the sink and they're ready to go. I don't even bother peeling the thin-skinned ones (delicata, etc.).

I've got a big pot of pork, acorn squash and apple stew on the stove, and another of vegetarian black bean chili on another burner. That, the cornbread that's in the oven and maybe some basmati rice and I should be good for the week.

those sound delicious.

apparently butternut squashes do--i don't have a lot of squash experience ;-) .

Tying threads, when I go to a party/function to which I have to bring food, I bring Curried Dilled Pasta Salad. Recipe available.

sure, i'd love the recipe--maybe they're getting tired of the sun-dried tomato one i tend to bring ;-) .

Hm, I'll have to recall it from memory. All measures are approximate

that sounds really tasty! but i'll have to make it for an event where there are cooling facilities--my mother would have my head if i brought a mayonnaise-based anything to something where it was going to sit unrefrigerated for five and a half hours, before being eaten.

that sounds really good.

i've never in my life eaten a black-eyed pea....

Kind of like small navy beans, only more dense, like lentils, kind of.

I like all the ingredients here, but I don't grok frittata recipes with rice/noodles -- those seem like something else to me. OTOH I've never seen/eaten one, just seen recipes -- maybe they'd seem more like frittatas to me in practice than in theory! :-)
