A simple fall recipe

One of the great delights of fall is squash. Personally, one of my strongest memories of squash is from the year our family went to Disneyland. We grew, then cooked and froze, then ate enough squash to save money to go to Disneyland. Or at least cover one of our tickets.

Anyway, this is my favorite way to do acorn squash.

Exact recipe--makes enough for 2 good-sized servings:
1. Take a small to medium-sized acorn squash.
2. Punch a hole in it.
3. Microwave it for 2 minutes.
4. Take it out and cut it in half.
5. Scoop out seeds.
6. In each half, put 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
7. Put it back in the microwave for about 5 minutes (until soft).
8. Enjoy.

You can also do it in the oven. With ones shaped like this, I'm tempted to slice them into rings because they're so pretty, but this is just easy!
