The Domestic Goddess

I think I should change my name ;-) I feel like a domestic goddess right now, what with all the cooking and sewing I'm doing. Yesterday found me back in the kitchen making our favorite 'butternut squash' soup with the little guys we got out of our garden. I didn't take a picture cos I've made that before and it looked just the same. You can CLICK HERE if you want to see the post from last year about the soup I made. I did take pictures of the acorn squash though. . .

Ya know, I've never even tried acorn squash! I just realized this yesterday when these came out of the oven. These were simply baked upside down on a cookie tray on 400 until soft, about 45 minutes, cos they are just small. Then I added a little butter in the middle and sprinkled brown sugar on top and put them under the broiler (grill) for just a few seconds.

They taste delicious. Of course the butter and brown sugar has a lot to do with that, but I actually had one with nothing on, just scooped out the lovely flesh and it's got a buttery taste all of it's own. At least I think it has.

And today, I've been sewing some pillow covers. Thought I'd take a picture and show you the curtain (and there is only one so far) that I have up in the game room. It's not finished yet, I need to make a sash to wrap around the middle to 'pinch' it together. But


It will look much better when the whole room is done, but I know a few of you have been wanting to see at least a peek of what I'm doing, so there ya go.
