I think it might be too late for the pumpkins that are still on the front porch from Halloween. No visible rot, but they’re collapsing. LOL.

Looks very good… the cooked squash… not the bloom on the outside. LOL

I oven roasted some winter squash last week for Thanksgiving — it was really yummy. I also made a soup from butternut squash for the first time and it turned out delish! Very rich.

VP – I remembered about leaving the skin on shortly after I took it out of the oven – Doh!

Racquel – It was very tasty and a lovely colour.

Karen – My sentiments exactly

Kanak – Yes it was very creepy but strangely attractive.

Susan – I think use of the word fluffy makes for a more attractive rot!

It all looks so appealing in your photos–even the fluffy rot part!

All that yellow looks absolutely delicious! And the rot does grab your attention –in a creepy other-worldly kind of way.

Ewwww! The rot, I mean. The roast bits look delicious.

At least you were able to get rid of the rotted part & use the rest of it. Looks very tasty roasted like that!

Roasting with the skin on usually makes them easier to peel I find.

At least yours showed you it was going on the top part – mine have a habit of going on the bottom and I only get to know about it when I pick them up to make soup, only to find they already are :(
