Last night my dad made Banana-squash soup. It sounds interesting. It looks interesting. It looks like mellow-yellow baby food. But it tastes like fall. No joke. In one spoon full it has captured the very essence that is fall. Crunching on leaves. Taking a walk while it is a tad chilly. The smell in the evening. The beautiful sunrise over the mountain. The changing colors of the trees.
Yeah. I ate Fall. I feel accomplished.
I want to find winter, spring and summer to eat now too.
Oh and if you want to eat fall too...
1 1/2 cup peeled and diced hubbard squash (1 1/2 inch cubes)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (very important)
1 1/2 cup whole milk (or cream)
3 tablespoons honey
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
Bring 1 inch of water to boil in a steamer. Place squash in a steamer basket set over the boiling water and cover. Steam for 20 minutes. Transfer steamed squash to a bowl and mash. Add black pepper, nutmeg, milk, honey and bananas. Heat gently before serving. Add more skim milk for a thinner consistency.
Enjoy your edible Fall.
