Since we are moving in two weeks, Jeff decided to move everything we don't use in the garage over to the new house this weekend. I had a box of weird squashes that he and the kids picked out when we went to the pumpkin patch last month. He was going to throw them away, but for some reason, I couldn't part with them. What if I wanted to make something with them? Well he called my bluff, so today while the kids were napping, I decided to figure out something.
I grabbed two squashes and looked them up online to see what kind they were. One was a Turban Squash and one was a Carnival Squash. The Turban Squash was the hardest squash I've ever tried to peel. Even softening it in the microwave first didn't help. So after peeling half of it, I decided half was enough and moved on to the Carnival Squash (which wasn't a fun chore either). I think I spent over an hour peeling squash. I pretty much followed the Butternut Squash Recipe that I previously posted except used these squashes instead. And to tell you the truth, it tasted pretty much the same, except maybe a little nuttier.

So, I'm enjoying a delicious cup right now and it tastes even better knowing that it's good for me and is only costing one point. Maybe I'll cook more squash tomorrow and do something with them other than soup.
