Ripe Spaghetti Squash

The first one came along finally. The spaghetti squash vines are loaded with squash, but not ripe ones. Finally yesterday one was a little darker yellow than the others. The stem was not dry, but the bottom was white and the top was yellow. It got picked. It was ready and delicious.

The easiest way to fix spaghetti squash is in the microwave. One can get out the ice-pick and take out their frustrations on the squash. Put it in the microwave for 5 minutes. It may not look done, but remember things keep cooking after they come out. Cut it open and scrape the insides out. Keep scraping until all that’s left is a thin rind. There is a lot of spaghetti in a small squash.

Bees do not like for you to smell good. Last night I used some skin so soft mosquito spray. It really smells more like a fancy lotion than mosquito repellant. When I was working by the bee hives, one came over and stung me for no good reason. I guess it was the smell.
