Squash

It's amazing to me just how long it takes to get over a negative view of something. Anytime I had seen anyone eat squash it had always looked really nasty and like mush. I was even slightly amazed at how firm it was when I finally decided to cook it for some purees (I was expecting mush, and yes, I know that sounds really silly). It was just like zucchini squash and smelled similar to pumpkin. Brace yourselves, I even LIKED the smell and it smelled even BETTER after getting it out of the oven. I finally ate some, cooked just perfect yesterday at Claim Jumper. I think it was grilled and was perfect. I like my carrots to be slightly crunchy still when I cook them (I like carrots best plain, but I don't like soggy carrots.) So, after trying some perfect carrots and some perfect zucchini squash (I've already mentioned before they I really like zucchini squash) I tried something else that sort of looked like the zucchini squash but without the green outside. It was yellow squash, and I LOVED it! Hah! It took me almost 23 years to figure that out. I figured it out the day before. Anyhow, I just thought it was funny. I'm one of the nutty people that actually LIKES the stuff. :) Zucchini squash is still my favorite though. (Who knows, maybe that'll change too.)
