Have made a new soup (not snew - couldn't seem to edit the title) which is wonderful.
Chopped-up butternut squash, onion, garlic and 1/2 tspn curry powder. Add one tin coconut milk, some water and simmer til soft. Whizz.
Heavenly, but looks horrible and grey whilst cooking!

That sounds quite nice Pennan. We never seem to know what to do with butternut squash in our house!

Yes, we have a very sharp knife Icecream, essential, or you lose the will to live, or a small chunk of finger if your attention strays for a moment!

It's lovely if you roast it. :)

OH used to sharpen the knives, but I have been asking him for at least a year. I think even longer. The German ones are quite sharp because I hardly use them, but there are only a couple of smallish ones.

I think I might have had it roasted once - it feels like a long time ago!

It's just one of those vegetables that seems a little intimidating - if you know what i mean!

I cut it into chunks and roast it with smoked bacon, then stir in some cashew nuts about 10 minutes before serving YUM!!
