I often think of blog bits but rarely have two hands to type them. I’ll try to do better!
Today for lunch we had squash. I made butternut ham bisque soup and spaghetti squash with marinara. The soup was great but Kaylynn wouldn’t eat it because her guinea pig named Butternut died last month and since the squash was the same name, she wouldn’t touch it. My jokes about eating guinea pig soup didn’t go over well. The spaghetti squash was recommended by Pat’s mom and sister. They told us it was like pasta. Um, no. None of us liked it, though we all tried valiantly. I told the kids they either had to eat the soup or the spaghetti to get some chocolate cake (thank you, meals-from-friends-because-of-baby) and Kaylynn choked down the “spaghetti” rather than guinea pig. All in all it was a strange meal. Thank goodness for the cake!

Funny, today’s CheapEats post was about spaghetti squash as well: http://cheaphealthygood.blogspot.com/2011/05/wayback-machine-spaghetti-squash.html
Thanks for swimming with us. And speaking of meals for having a baby, you said we could cook for you when you mother in law left. When do you want it?

My college roommate used to insist that spaghetti squash was just like spaghetti, too. I never believed her!
