Fall Farm Share = Squash

I just sent my sister an e-mail telling her about all the things I made/am making/ am thiniking of making with my new farm share (fall farm shares are tricky, i think, but worth it) and I know what her response is going to be - "Alisa, instead of e-mailing me this, you should be blogging about it." And so I'm beating her to the punch.

When you order a fall farm share, you know that you will be getting squash every week. So I really, I brought this upon myself.... but still I will now say it... I hate squash.

Last week I got an Acorn. I already had a huge Acorn squash that had been taunting me for weeks, so I peeled them both and cut them up. I cooked a red onion in some olive oil and then added the squash and a TON of curry powder (to mask the squash flavor) and added some water and a can of coconut milk and I must say, this soup is pretty delicious. When the squash was cooked i blended a bit with my hand blender but then i realized that wasn't good enough so blended the whole thing in small batches.

And I confess... it was delicious. I can even make squash tasty.

Now on to the Butternut I got this week... crap, I hate squash. But if I get creative in my spices, I think I can make this the Fall of Squash Soups.
