I may need to make some and get them out of my head.<br /><br />Yeah, isn't that weird? He hates olives, though he'll eat them if they're in something (like puttanesca, or if I put them on pizza or whatever). I think it's so bizarre he hates them, but at the same time I'm kind of glad because that means I get them all to myself and I don't have to share. I think the only other pickle type I've seen him reject is makdous. He didn't hate those, but he didn't like them enough to decide that he should eat them when I love them so. I can't imagine a world without olives though, seriously.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981628640737207011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252166.post-34674296325929631702012-02-02T17:54:22.160-06:002012-02-02T17:54:22.160-06:00I rarely make it to actually stuffing the squash. ...I rarely make it to actually stuffing the squash. I usually just have the mix on the side. And then the baked squash. Or I turn the squash into something like mash or pancakes or gnocchi.<br /><br />Also, olive hating? Srsly? He eats other pickled foods though, right?j.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05488121165040555447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252166.post-10292118408957810262012-02-02T15:19:08.735-06:002012-02-02T15:19:08.735-06:00Probably so, j.

I've already got plans for that pumpkin though (which entailed me emptying out much of the freezer, since I've no intention of roasting and pureeing this one), so I won't be stuffing it. Also too, I think Ross (and his olive hating self; weird) appreciates the deviation from puttanesca, which I make at least once a week.<br /><br />You know, I do saute the veggies and stuff longer when I'm in a room where I can't smell the kitchen. Half the time, that's exactly why I end up forgetting that I'm cooking. :)<br /><br />Do you ever have it happen that you stuff a squash, then feel a nearly overwhelming temptation to put the whole thing back together, stuff the squash in your backpack and go off to do other things? I always want to do that, but I figure the stuffing will come out before I'm done nibbling at it and ruin my books.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981628640737207011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252166.post-1829759607056179832012-02-02T14:53:42.386-06:002012-02-02T14:53:42.386-06:00So what you're saying is, squash is cheap and ...So what you're saying is, squash is cheap and you like it, so we're going to be reading about it for a while?<br /><br />Also...
