It's invading the corn, which is not a problem. But it keeps trying to climb the tomatoes and I have had to redirect its eforts. Anyway, if even one tenth of the blossoms end up bearing fruit, I will have a ton of acorn squash on hand, and I am looking for a good CH-type recipe... Anybody have a favorite they'd be willing to share? One I like is a stuffed acorn squash. I make a stuffing out of Italian sausage, onion, garlic, mushrooms,chile of your choice (or hab powder). Brown the sausage, drain. I then add a little olive oil and some fresh thyme, a splash of red wine, depending on my mood a diced tomatoe. Reduce this untill there is very little liquid. Cut the squash in half and clean out the seeds. Salt, pepper, and hab powder the inside of the squash. Put sausage mixture in the hollowed out part. Put halves back together and wrap in aluminum foil. Place on weber on indirect low heat for about 2 hours. Mike, wishin I had some acorn squash, in KC Scott... acorn squash is the only type I like...
