I am not a fan of squash. Or anything that's stringy, or has that sort of pulpy seedy thing going on. Blame the nasty things I was fed as a child. However, today, I admit I have found a squash I like, and indeed the recipe for it is thus:

Make it. It's gud.

I also know there are some intrepid crock-pot folks about; being one of them, I have fallen in love with this blog:

I have already decided I need to make several of the recipes on here. And since I just got a new 7 quart crockpot last weekend, I'm laughing.

Ooh, that recipe does sound good.

I used to dislike all forms of squash intensely -- like you, mainly from unappealling versions of it encountered in childhood. But as an adult, I have gradually discovered that at least winter squash (acorn, butternut, etc.) can be very good if prepared right. Summer squash (zucchini and its relatives) I'm still not crazy about, but I'll eat it if I have to.

One of the best forms of butternut squash I've found was pasta stuffed with it - I had butternut squash ravioli at a restaurant once, with a sort of white wine cream sauce, and it was incredibly good.

I'm thinking I'd like to try making that spicy sweet potato soup I make with this squash, instead of pumpkin. I think I like it more than pumpkin, now. It's certainly easier to get butternut through the winter.

That pasta sounds delicious. :)

Also, try out the crock-pot blog - the family who is eating all that cooking is gluten-free, and there's lots of vegan and veg recipes on there.
