Yes, she did get it in a CSA box, but she did say that she looked up how
to peel a butternut squash, and that was when she learned it was a
acorn. Then she commented about butternut being easier to peel. That
left me wondering how she would know it was easier to peel a butternut
squash because he has never peeled on. It is not easy.

My wife would know what to do with beets.... straight into the compost
bin. I don't mind beets at all, but they are one of the few things that
she absolutely hates. I would roast the beets or use them tomake Borscht.
