Curry, Squash, and Girl Talk

Thursday night Jess, Jess, and I had big plans to make extravagant food. When we finally met up, we were all sleepy from the day, and very hungry! So we decided to make quick food, so we had more time to relax and chat! The dinner menu became acorn squash with chile lime sauce, yam curry with bananas, bruschetta, and OREOS! Mike hung out with us too, he can't pass up good food.

The acorn squash recipe was taken from the smitten kitchen site. Thanks Deb!

2 acorn squash

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp salt

6 tbsp olive oil

1 garlic clove (Jessica used more because she is afraid of vampires ;) haha)

1 1/2 tbsp fresh lime juice

2 tsp finely chopped fresh hot red chile, include seeds (we all inhaled this and had to go outside to recover)

2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Put oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees. Halve the squash lengthwise, then cut off and discard stem ends. Scoop out seeds, and cut squash lengthwise into 3/4 inch wedges. Toss squash with black pepper, 3/4 tsp salt, 2 tbsp olive oil in a bowl. Then arrange in 2 large shallow baking pans, with the cut sides down. Roast squash, switching position of pans halfway through roasting, until squash is tender and undersides are golden brown (25-35 minutes).

While the squash roasts, mince the garlic, and mash into a paste using the rest of the salt. Transfre paste into a small bowl and whisk with lime juice, chile, cilantro, and 1/4 c olive oil. Drizzle over roasted squash.

The sweet and savory of this dish was to die for!

You will have to talk to Mrs. Silver for the curry recipe, because she was fully in charge of this delicious creation!

Careful, the curry jumps on people, and stains shirts!

The bruschetta was just 4 tomatoes, 2 cloves of garlic, basil, salt, pepper. Needed onions we thought, but we didnt have any. We then rubbed bread with garlic, toasted the bread, and enjoyed!
We were too tired for dessert, so we went to the store looking for the halloween oreos, but they didn't have any. So we disappointingly settled for the plain ones. :)
