Does a Hubbard squash taste different than any other squash?

Foley food mill-----so that is what that thing is called. I never thought to use it on the pumpkin that I cooked for the dogs. Someone gave it to me and whoever gave it to them had used some sort of pins to hold Halloween decorations on it, so it had holes in it.

My husband was busy so I put the pumpkin in a box and took it outside on the weed mat and dropped it several times, by doing this, I could pull it apart.

I see we both have a love for tea cups, my favorite cup has legs. I would show it to you but all of my tea cups are in a box somewhere because I have no place to properly show them.

I have grown several different varieties of winter squash over the years, and each one has its own flavor. Hubbard is not as sweet as some, but it has a thick, hearty texture. Delicata and sweet dumpling squashes are sweeter. Acorn squash is probably my least favorite; I find it rather tasteless. Butternut squash is good baked, especially with apples and spices. But those are just my opinions.

I had a good chuckle over how you made your pumpkin come apart. We do have to get creative now and then, that's for sure.

My mother loved tea cups, and had about 70 in her china hutch. When she died, my two sisters and my cousin and I divided them up amongst ourselves. Then I accumulated a few more over the years as gifts and from ebay. I have about 3 dozen now. I keep five or six handy in a cupboard for use, and the rest live on top of the kitchen cupboards. I swap them out now and then, so I don't use the same ones all the time.

I love butternut squash but I bake it with butter and brown sugar. We grow Seminole squash and cook them with apples, they are like small pumpkins.

I can not use my right hand to cut the pumpkin and like you said, I got creative.

My Mom is where I got most of my tea cups. When I am with my sister at a yard sale and I see a cup and saucer, I buy it and she always gives me grief about buying it, she says "what are you going to do with it" I say "I am going to put it in the box with the rest of them. Maybe one day someone in the family will want them.
