Just posted pictures of the finished, baked, custard on the channel's Facebook page, and it looks and smells great! Just waiting for it to cool. Seems like these are just the sort of videos everybody needs/wants just now. :-)
Impressive how long it lasted in such good shape. I had never thought about average squash consumption before but I too would be above that average. I used to eat even more of it (spaghetti squash was a favourite for a long while) and still is now but I find that a lot of squashes do quite well cooked, blended, strained and then last well in the freezer for me in ways a lot of veg or things don't so I did have a well stocked freezer of it other years. I wouldn't want to guess how much but definitely way way more than a pound. (I think for most of my life we all would have done for more than that in pepper squash just at thanksgiving in this family! Haha but I suspect regionally we are in more of a squash region with the cooler weather) Anyways, hope you enjoyed this back when you made it. :)
Yes, winter squash and pumpkin will last, when properly cared for, through the winter, and we eat a LOT of them. We also bake, blend, and freeze quite a lot so we have a full year supply. This is the time of year we are down to frozen. There are something like a dozen different carotenoids in winter squash, not just alpha and beta, so they are extremely healthy for us.
Thanks Ettore! We are still staying at home alone, and everything seems to be just fine with us. Hope you and your wife are doing well and staying safe as well.
We used to, but very rarely anymore. A lot of things have become very difficult for me to eat since the surgery. We did however save some of the seeds from this particular pumpkin to plant this season. It is an exceptionally good keeper, and really nice texture.
Can't wait to hear how it tastes!

First time to see that kind of pumpkin shape. I like squash too.
It's a typical pumpkin shape. I'm not really familiar with any other shape of pumpkin.
Thanks for the tips Paul! I could use it :)
Well I am trying to generate some new content. This seemed timely. Thanks!

I love acorn squash stuffed with Jimmy Dean sausage
Hay Harvey!! Great to hear from you. Well, that is also one of Bev's favorites. We occasionally grow a few acorn squash as well, mostly just for her.

Do you salt and roast the seeds? I've loved them since I was a kid.
