obsessed with squash





my whole life revolves around winter squash.

i'm the resident squash handler at the red wagon winter squash emporium. i take home bunk squash and eat it. i arrange squash in nice piles. i move it around a lot. i consider how many things i can make out of squash [breads, soup, curry, baked delisciousness, pie, mash, stuffed, drenched in maple syrup]. i plan to dry them and make birdhouses out of them. i carefully avoid the bees that swarm around the piles of squash. i tell people how to cook squash. i take pictures of squash. i dreamt about squash last night.

What do squash dream about?

Speaking of food, here's an appropriately-timed Jewish joke for you:


Q: Why can’t you catch a Jew on Yom Kippur?
A: 'Cause they fast!

Apparently that rare mountain air makes prettier squash than we get in these parts. I would be obsessed with it too. I had butternut squash soup with bits up raw apple (as a garnish) in it the other night.....excellent!
