a Recipe? for Disaster?

So, i said that i would post the recipe for the Stuffed Thanksgiving Squash... and here it is:

4 acorn squash - we chose them mostly for their colour and their size. Also when you cut them in half they look like little flowers. They smell like pumpkin.

- cut in half and remove seeds. Cut off ends so they can sit without falling over later in the game. Place the squash face down on a glass baking dish with about 1/2" of water. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 350 - until soft.
while they squash is cooking chop into small pieces:

1 - green pepper
1 - baking apple (like macintosh or granny)
1 - small red onion
2 small tomatos
5 small cloves of garlic

add
1 egg (optional - it's just to make it stick)
1/2 C shredded Asiago cheese
Salt (a small handful is what i used, so i guess just gauge it yourself)


When the squash is cooked - let cool for about 10 mintues then scrape out most of the inside squash. Be careful when lifiting them from the water, they may spit hot steam in your face (we learned that one the hard way). Chop up the scooped out squash and add to your veggie mix.

mix them all together. This was fun, we just put our hands in there and mushed it all around.

Now, place your squash face up (now aren't you glad you chopped off the ends?) and fill each squashy bowl with the veggie mixture. Top with more cheese! As much Cheese as you'd like! The more the merrier!!

Throw it back in the oven for 15-20 minutes, watching that your cheese doesn't burn. i don't remember how long we actually left them in the oven for -keep in mind we drank a bottle of wine (Thanks Savia, it was delicious!) in the time it take to make these, so it's best to just keep your eye on them.

EAT!
