A friend gave me a chunk of squash from an enormous one she couldn’t finish. I don’t know what variety (now need to find out) but when roasted it was sweet and tasted like chestnut. So I pureed it and made spiced muffins with a maple glaze. I think this is how I’d like to eat all my squash now!
@helenclayton looks beautiful! -
@suearcher two of my favourites!
I haven't made a coffee cake for ages, for some reason. I'm looking forward to a piece after dinner....

@helenclayton I totally forgot the link! Whoops https://www.riverford.co.uk/recipes/chocolate-beetroot-brownies
@howisyourdog 😁 oh a riverford recipe! They are great. I’ve made one of theirs for chocolate courgette cake! Thank you! I might try growing beetroot this year.

@helenclayton they are nice and moist. I didn't put the tia maria in either, so they could taste even better!

@helenclayton that looks really yummy. Might be a way to get my kid to eat squash. You should try zucchini bread as well. Something I grew up with when my mom was figuring out how to use all the zucchini. Zucchini pancakes were less tasty.

@CarmenSD11235 oh I make anything with zucchini (courgette to us Brits) that I can! There’s always a glut. Chocolate courgette cake is good. And I love courgette pancakes!

@howisyourdog mmm Tia Maria 😋. I’d leave it out too, if only because it’s not something I buy. I’m sure my parents used to have it in the drinks cabinet.

@helenclayton I'm not allowed to plant zucchini anymore because the one plant I raised produced way too many for my family and work team to handle. Folks in the community loved it though. Even the massive ones that I didn't catch in time.

@CarmenSD11235 I grew three last year, for two of us 😂

@helenclayton That is interesting. I have gone crazy over Japanese sweet potatoes because they taste just like roasted chestnuts to me. I didn't know that some types of squash did too.

@helenclayton 😂 I remember my dad growing at least two every year and my mom would always shake her head. We would also have at least a half dozen tomato plants as well because he wanted variety. My sibling hates tomatoes but it was long before his obsession with tomatoes. Dad had his section of the garden and mom had hers. They're still going at it decades later.

@helenclayton I find Kubocha winter squash is particularly sweet, flaky, and chestnut-y.

@CarmenSD11235 😂 with my dad it was courgettes too and my mum had her fruit obsession, mostly plums. Much groaning ‘oh no [courgettes/plums] again!’

@tc_morekindness I’ll find out the variety and hopefully get some seeds tomorrow…in exchange for a muffin.

@helenclayton Squash is one of those vegetables I dislike…but I think I’d like it in this form! Yum.
Enjoy your muffins.

@lydiaschoch I like squash soup but can be a bit weird about the texture otherwise. In cake is good!

@howisyourdog there is a public recipe! Here’s the link. It uses butternut squash but you could use any. I used maple syrup as substitute for honey.

@helenclayton @howisyourdog oh my gosh!
"Chai-Spiced Butternut Squash Muffins with Salted Honey Glaze" ?
Who could possibly resist this?

@Otttoz Penso che L'Umbertone fosse troppo semplicistico. Io vedo l'umanità come la carrozzeria ammaccata di un auto. Se provi a raddrizzarla da una parte, si assesta malamente da un'altra. E comunque a lavoro finito, anche se tutto sembra in ordine, la carrozzeria non è più quella di prima.
Ecco, ora che l'ho scritta trovo che l'immagine di Eco fosse cmq migliore.

Tempesta senza fine. Il flusso perturbato che da un mese schiaffeggia mezza Europa non solo non si placa, ma è intenzionato addirittura a rilanciare. Tra giovedì e domenica due profonde depressioni atlantiche transiteranno sul vecchio continente coinvolgendo in maniera diretta anche l'Italia. 1/8
