Out of food, had to improvise.
Tonight I invented a tasty new food, which I will call "Squash Balls."
Here's the recipe:
1 delicata squash
1/3 c. whole wheat flour
1/3 c. regular flour
1 tbs. white sugar
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 or two cranks of the pepper mill
onion -- about a thick slice worth, minced
milk (maybe 1/3 c., but I didn't measure)
olive oil
Poke the squash with a fork and cook it in the microwave for about 10 minutes. Let it cool off for a few minutes, then slice it in half and discard the seeds, scraping the flesh into a bowl away from the skin. Put the olive oil in a big frying pan on the stove, maybe a half cup or so, and put the burner on medium high heat while you mix together all the other ingredients. Form the thick batter into balls, and once the oil is hot fry each ball until it's brown all around (you'll have to turn it a few times to brown it evenly).
Eat.
This serves two, probably has about 100 calories per serving, and leaves you with enough oil left over in the pan that you can use it to roast your delicata squash seeds.
Yum!

Sure, I can do that.
Ben and I had frosting and saltines for dessert, one of the great snacks of my childhood. Apparently most people in this world were not raised on saltines and frosting, because people look at me oddly when I talk about how good they are.
