Re: LlamaServer down for next few hours
The trick to cutting squash is having a big heavy and very sharp knife. We eat a lot of butternut squash. What we do is cut it up into about 1 inch cubes then put it in a big chili pot with about 1/3 the volume of water (so the water is about 1/2 of the way up the squash in the pot) then sprinkle it with a LOT of sugar. Then you slow boil it on mimimal heat until the sugar gets all melted into the butternut squash and the water turns into a squash/juice syrup. The trick is NOT to stir it except very very slowly so that the squash doesn't loose its shape. After you have a delicious dessert perfect for the fall season.
This is a turkish recipe apparently but i have no idea what its called- we call it 'the pumpkin dessert'.
OH yeah, and thanks for all your work.
