Hi everyone!
Yes, I decided to start a thread!!
But it is because I need some thoughts on this---
that is my ulterior motive:twisted:
I am supplying the butternut squash for family T-day.
There will be 16 adults there.
How many squashes would you buy?
I was thinking 3 or 4...
another selfish question!!
I usually peel, seed, cube and steam them stove top in a steamer basket.
Then I mash and add a touch of brown sugar, a splash of pure maple syrup, s&p, and plenty of butter.
my dilemma:
Since I have issues with my right shoulder (dominant arm) I cannot even imagine tackling all of this.
I am still in pain.
Question:
Do you think if I halve them, lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and then bake them. It would turn out ok.
I could just scoop out the flesh, after baking, and then mash with my hand held mixer.
I mean would the texture be ok.
I think this would be easier for me.
Another question:
Can I do this the day before T-day and then refrigerate.
I could mix it all up and re-heat at my cousins.
Thanks in advance for your help
