Squash Party

Throwback Thursday! 

I drafted this post in early January and lost it in the shuffle. Jaron looks a lot smaller, doesn't he? Some of these photos are too cute to pass up, so here's the post. Better late than never... 😅

We have a bunch of squash moldering in the fruit room. Actually, most of it is keeping fine, but some are getting wrinkled and soft. We also have a box of leftover pie pumpkins from the garden center that are starting to mold/get soft, so we need to have a squash party to cook it up.

Jaron loved to pat the squash. 

And eat the leaves that snuck inside in the crate. 😜

After getting bored with that, he discovered this large cardboard box previously holding pumpkins. 

Back to the squash. 

Cut in half, seeded, baked upside down, now cooling to be scooped.

And occupying Jaron with his alphabet puzzle - a gift from Auntie Eileen for Christmas. He particularly loved the letter P. Maybe the way it fits into his mouth? 

Some of the pumpkin was quite stringy inside, almost like a spaghetti squash. Is that the variety or because it's undercooked? 

The squash got packed into cubes which went on a tray in the freezer. 

We'll use them in soups, reheating to eat plain, and even in muffins!
