I made this tonight for dinner.  I thought it was terrific John thought it great at the beginning but a bit too sweet by the end.  I used homeynut squash, next time I'll use a squash that is not as sweet.  I adapted the recipe for the IP and that worked nicely.  Thanks for the recipe @Okanagancook!¡

I wish I had taken better photos at Shamrock Farms this year. This region had an awful start to the growing season and farms like Shamrock had to replant after a disastrous Spring. They weren't even sure they wanted to risk the replant of some long season crops. But they did and they grew 59 different varieties of squash and pumpkin. Some of their varieties are higher priced this year, as a result of extra costs and losses. But they still have some beautiful choices and lots of information. One is Marina di Chiogga, they had Warty Thing,  Autumn Crown, Kabocha, Queensland Blue and lots of others.

Noting that acorn squash/pumpkin are not available in Australia except that I know someone who smuggled some seeds back. Unfortunately his were pretty tasteless, which was a pity. Don't know if it was the seeds or the soil or the weather that was the problem. I do like acorn squash.

Being the squash lover that I am, I'd be ecstatic to be in a place like that.

I'm on my way today to pick up some more green Hubbards  from the farm stand.
