Yay - glad to be back among my so carefully-tended fray here on the internets. Still cackling warmly about *someone's* comment re: 'middle-aged crazy cat ladies' - and proudly salute our ranks..though some are 'crazy pibble/chicken-ladies', as well. :)

I hereby and forthwith retract any and all snarky references to Brian Cox as, 'the boy band of science', with great shame and regret and a bit of lust. See you in my dreams, Professor.

Good morning, Philae - Wakey, wakey!

Rest in Peace, LightSail #1.

Made some BANGIN' spaghetti squash, last night, to share with a coworker who's never tried it. Hope to change her mind with some shredded smoked gouda, lovely mushrooms and a splash of soy milk, baked to perfection. It's going to be nice to have someone to cook for, again - - coming up, next? My stewed tomatoes, as she is also a fan.

Hmm, would you share the squash recipe by chance?

Well, I just kinda made it up.

1 medium spaghetti squash - halve, clear and bake for 40 minutes at 400F (keep checking it - I no longer have an actual stove and use a baking/convection oven, so it may vary for you - when the edges of the hull get brown, here and there, it's done..I've even microwaved them, but it aint the same, trust me.)

Scrape your hulls, and in a pyrex baking dish - I use my all-purpose round one, mix 6 oz (that's almost 1 c? - it looked like more) of shredded smoked gouda cheese (1 pack of five oz + a bit more) with the squash 'strings' while they are still pretty warm - mix well. The cheese will start to melt.

Add about 1/4 plain soy milk - stir, and it will start to mix and get creamy

Add 1 small can of mushroom 'bits and stems' or chop and saute 4 - 5 good sized ones, chop, then mix in

Bake again for about 30 mins at 350F - et voila!

In the past, I've sprinkled smoked, chopped almonds on top, and put back in the oven to brown them, a little - it adds an interesting crunch - esp nice if the squash is a little 'al dente' - I left them off, this time, as my coworkers are a bit leery about the whole squash thing, to begin with, lol...so, we'll see how it goes..
