The Hubbards ones got huge! Our girls love to use all kinds of them in cooking.

I remember sitting and staring at the last couple spoonfuls of it on my plate after everyone else had left the table.<BR/><BR/>As an adult, I discovered acorn squash, which I and all but one of my kids just LOVE.

I'm not a big fan of squash, but I did find it to have a nice flavor. I'm not so sure about soup, but would be willing to try it with the second one - they were given to me by a friend who grew an abundance.<BR/><BR/>I'm typing this on my new laptop, and enjoying playing with it Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938607712512860569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15437418.post-38935732265789402632007-11-03T16:19:00.000+00:002007-11-03T16:19:00.000+00:00I love this story.

I even bake them, put puree them then use them in place of pumpkin for American pumpkin pie.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17890581319164051879noreply@blogger.com
