Tonight I'm making muffins for tomorrow's Taproot potluck. Recipe #1 is for squash muffins; #2 is for canteloupe muffins, using some frozen canteloupe puree we had from the summer when we were getting a couple melons a week.
And so, for the first time in literally months, there is no squash in my fridge. Hurrah!
(I should note that it's not that I don't like squash - I quite like it, especially Hubbard. I just find it harder to use up than some things.)
