Theres something about butternut squash that we can’t quite get over and enjoy the flavour of. Totally personal opinion, of course.

I prefer my butternut squash creamed into a soup. We certainly all have our differences.

Well this tuesday I had veggie sausages (Richmond’s) mash, veg and gravy ! 
Yumski!
Today I’ll have leftover mash reheated with chicken (quorn) casserole (batch frozen)… or pasta bake and a couple of slices of garlic bread.
Parents Evening tomorrow after school so it’ll probably something quick like an omelette or fish fingers and salad sandwich
I have 1/2 a chinese meal, frozen from a couple of weeks ago so I’ll have that as a treat on friday.
Saturday I usually make posh nosh with chips or a curry or risotto or fajitas (halloumi for me)… all home made… even the guacamole and wraps and salsas
Sunday… usually a full roast (with home made lentil wedges for me) but sometimes I’ll cook a chilli or a casserole/stew and have them with a jacket potato.
Mondays can be bubble and squeak and/or re-hashed leftovers with cold meat/ lentil wedges.
Sometimes I’ll make a quiche if there aren’t many leftovers and have that with salad and a slice of homemade bread or baby new potatoes
Other times, a veg lasagna with salad

I’ve always got frozen soups too.
I make a mean Broccoli soup and I put a few cubes of white stilton in, just before serving/eating

Yesterday was Tuesday and it could have been a veggie day … I made one of my all time favourite suppers: broccoli & cheese sauce. Then Mrs d00d said we must finish off the last of the roast lamb … tutt.

just on it’s own. We have it quite regularly for supper. And we usually have cheese after main supper dish, but not cheese then more cheese, so we might have a sweet … Jamaica Ginger Cake last night.

Tonight I aim to do potato, onion, cabbage & cheese … something like in the video above, but I’ll do it in the oven. We have a jar of anchovy fillets, may try a little on the side, olives too.

Sounds like an eclectic mixture of tastes and cuisines that but very scrummy too.
I finally acquired a taste for olives (black are best) and anchovies when I was nearing my 30s.
Anchovies need a gentle touch though… they can easily dominate everything else in a meal

You’ve got to be careful … anchovies as a separate, complimentary flavour rather than flavouring everything.

I wondered what the hell is a Butternut Squash and discovered it is a pumpkin.
When I first came to Australia in the 60s the first meal I sat down to at the guest house I was staying at had this strange orange vegetable. I asked what it was and was told “pumpkin”, my farmer uncle used to grow pumpkin for pigs
For the next 50 years I never ate it because it was synonymous with pig food, if it was on my plate I just left it. Recently I started buying these $5 meals which included pumpkin so I tried it. I can’t say it is something I really enjoy but unlike cabbage and other green vegetables it is not unpleasant so now I eat it.
As for soup:
This line from a play rather sums up my feelings - “I never understood soup, you don’t need a knife and fork to eat it so it is not food so it must be a drink in which case I’d rather have a schooner”
Too much cheese last thing at night …Most athletes that I have associated with (including me) never eat cheese. To many fats.

I don’t even know why I read this thread…
Perhaps it’s because it’s either this or discussing the rules, and this seems a modicum more exciting…
