Summer Rundown 3: Uncle David's Dakota Dessert
The catalog description:
A buttercup squash
so sweet
it could be baked
naked
into
pies.
How could I pass you up?
Not terribly productive,
but I can chalk up your few fruit
to my few years of
squash-growing
experience.
What few fruit
you gave me
I've already begun to eat.
Yesterday,
I peeled off your
tough skin,
tossed chunks of your
orange flesh
with cloves of
Red Toch garlic,
plenty of salt and thyme,
and a glug of olive oil.
I roasted
you
to
carmelly-thymey-goodness.
You
will grow again in my
garden.
You
are the jade gift
to the winter table.
