Tonight's supper, to some a side dish, to me a complete meal. Butternut squash, two Pinova apples, which are great cooked or eaten raw.
Last night I roasted potatoes, to make egg n chips, and I had a rush of brains to the head and realized that since I was putting in potatoes for 30 minutes at 400F I may as well put the butternut squash in its own dish, in there too, to get tender for use today.
So here's the debris as I cube the squash and the apples, ready to saute in olive oil and butter. I seasoned with nutmeg, cinnamon, cubes of fresh ginger, salt on the squash.
And here you see evidence of even more planning, since half the contents are for tomorrow's carrot, cashew soup, now to be c and c and s and a soup.
Meanwhile, tonight's supper is sauteing merrily, and smelling very nice. When the apples are tender, the squash already being pretty tender, it was ready.
And so was I. Tomorrow I'll make the cashew etc soup, and hope it will require fewer tools than tonight's supper. Also less cleanup, this one involving a mopping up operation because when I took out the carrots, I forgot they were in cold water, a way to keep them crisp in the fridge, and ended up with it all over da place.
The cashews are now soaking, so I'm really prepped for making soup tomorrow. And it's Misfits choice day, where I go to the website and pick out next week's produce box.
