THREE MORE GIANT BUTTERNUT SQUASH.

Plus twenty more pounds of potatoes and onions and a bunch of red things that appear to be giant radishes.

I’m showing you these cookies because I cannot bear to show you all my roots.

I’m going to make muffins. And Sierra says you can make pasta the same way you would make risotto, and because she has never steered me wrong I believe her. Other than that I am at a loss.

Help please.

Roasted butternut squash with tahini dressing is delicious, even for a notorious squash-hater like myself. I think Orangette has a recipe. If I can find it, I’ll give you the link.

Good luck with all those roots!
