Sausage and Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash

Looked like a relatively simple recipe and it really was. The minor issue was that I had a heritage breed of acorn squash, which may have caused the need to bake a little bit longer. The squash was mildly undercooked, which kind of ruined the experience. I used green onion sausage from Crooked Gap, and the stuffing was pretty good. The next day I reheated the squash in the microwave and it was nice and seemed like it should be. I guess I learned a something new today.

Chicken over roasting vegetables

I didn’t feel like actually roasting all the vegetables, so I roasted the chicken with some spices and I cut it up and we had sandwiches. It was pretty good.

Lucky George Mutton v Lamb burgers

I tried to make these as closes as possible to each other. A bit of salt, trying to keep the lamb to the left through out, while cooking at the same temp. Shannon was able to pick the lamb from the mutton, I would call the lamb a bit more moist, and the mutton was a bit more…sheepy. As it stands I suspect you may need something a bit more meaty to tell the difference (like stew, maybe?). Anyways, nice dinner, good things.

I took notes last time that said this was filling. This is still true. it is a little blandish, but a little sweet and a little savory.

This was super easy and I liked the way that this was all combined together (mixed before adding and crisping the tortillas. It will need to go into the “I’m feeling lazy” rotation.
