They had small white ones with the regular baking pumpkins at my farmers
market yesterday. I saw the large white ones for the first time last
year. The sign with the small ones said they were great for baking. Not
sure about the variety though.

Perhaps I will give them a try, but right now I think I will stick with
the traditional colors!

I did buy some squash yesterday that was served last night. The sign
said something like "Honey Best," but when I looked them up online they
appeared to be Delicata or Sugar Loaf. The thicker skin proved it to be
the Sugar Loaf. Delicious!

Now I need to figure out something cool to do with the Sugar pumpkins
and butternut squash! All the recipes of late are inspiring me.
