Free Squash
I got home late yesterday after doing some shopping at the local department store for varmint control devices. No sooner had I closed my door there came a knock, I had been followed up to my second story appartment. Lo and behold a smiling landlady, in her outstreched hands an offering of squash. We thanked her with many slight nods of the head, also smiling. I guess this means she wants more soup?

Makes for a fair trade - you get the squash & she gets some soup!

As for the type of squash this is, I can't see teh bottom but I'm guessing this is a buttercup squash - a common variety, easily grown in our climate & very tasty indeed! Possibly an Autum cup squash which is a hybrid of the buttercup variety.
All in all, excellent (try baking it with a bit of brown sugar or maple syrup & butter!)
My absolute favorite is butternut, long almost bell shaped of a light tan color. It has a sweet dark yellow/orange flesh.
