Winter squash on the way...

Today's CSA newsletter promises winter squash, possibly something called the long neck pumpkin, which looks like a deformed butternut squash.

Squash-related posting to resume soon. Meanwhile, here's a bulleted summary of eating from the past week or so. Most of this covers a trip to Boston and Cape Cod.

• baked scrod with spinach and brussel-sprouts with bacon (lunch at Legal's Test Kitchen)
• Gobbler sandwich (turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce - just like Thanksgiving leftovers) from All Star Sandwich Bar
  
• raw oysters, fancy cheese, salmon, and a Greek bean-based dish (food at R's sister's house)
• cheese blintzes from S&S
• spinach-and-artichoke dip, mussels, and calamari salad from Boston Beer Garden
• raw oysters from Chatham (at R's parents' house - caught by his dad). As an aside, do you catch oysters or harvest them? Or something else?
  
• Scallops alfredo from Napi's in Provincetown
• Chicken fingers at Chicago's Midway airport
• Cabbage soup (made by me, at home)
• Chicken picata with onions and orzo -- this deserves its own post soon (made by me, at home)
  
• Couscous with dates, craisins, almonds, and goat cheese (made by R., at home)
  

No squash but some delicious seafood
