I picked the first fruits of our summer garden last night, and found out what our volunteer squash plant turned out to be…
They’re beautiful squashy-gourd thingies, but I have no idea what to do with them. Anybody have suggestions? Are they just like more common summer squash? I know I’ve seen them dried in the fall as decoration, but I’ve never tried to cook with them before. The skin doesn’t seem too tough, so maybe I’ll just try sautéing with onion and butter.
Have a happy and safe Fourth of July weekend!

13 years agoHa! Yeah, I live in Walnut Creek, CA, where it's been hotter than blazes. But to be fair, my tomatoes are still green too. They're getting big, though!
