Detroit Thanksgiving

Every year my friends in the Detroit area all get together to celebrate Thanksgiving.  We do this a couple weeks before the actual Turkey Day.  Nothing wrong with having two Thanksgivings!  Everyone brings a dish to pass.  This year, as in years past, I brought squash casserole.

 First, I cut up 5 acorn squashes and removed the seeds.

 I cooked these up just like pumpkin seeds and the bf agrees, they taste better than pumpkin seeds!  I am thinking it is because the shells are thinner.

 Put ~3/4T butter and 1 heaping tablespoon of brown sugar in each half.

Don't forget to baste the squashes every 15 minutes or so.  Cooked them for about 2 hours before scooping out the insides and putting it in a pan to transport to the dinner.

Happy early Thanksgiving everyone!  :)
