Really Leftovers

Supper, Thursday December 8: stuffed squash (ginormous pattypan, ground beef, chopped spinach, egg, croutons, mozzarella, spices to taste); polenta witth parm; breaded and baked okra.

This past summer we had great production from our garden. After a weekend away we had a few gargantuan pattypan squash. A couple we pitched in the compost but I kept a couple of the prettiest ones to stuff and bake. Just make your favorite meatloaf recipie and put it in the squash. Don't do anything special. You'll be happier with a familiar comfort flavor. Anyhoo, we ate some of the squash and froze a whole one intact for later. I thawed the frozen one, but now, how to reheat. If I heat as is it will take forever and the squash will likely collapse. Slices! I cut the ball in half then cut slices out of a half, lay then on a sheet pan and baked. Why not do the okra in the same oven. It's not the same as fried but it is better for me.
