Weekly Report 3/11/09

I am so excited! Since it's going to be cold this weekend I went to the Farmer's Market today looking for butternut squash to make the Butternut Bean Soup found at the bottom of the recipes at www.animalvegetablemiracle.com/Recipes.html . There weren't any butternut left, but I found buttercup squash, a round squash that is one of the sweetest. I am going to cut it like a pumpkin, bake it, and serve the bean soup in that instead, a la Pumpkin Soup in its Own Shell. I also found baby collards. I found a very easy way to prepare collards in the Joy of Cooking. I will post that with a few other recipes. Oh joy!
