I'll be eating well for more than a week. Winter vegetables last a long
time when properly stored.

Yes, I adore roasted acorn squash. Split, seeded and butter, S&P.

Butternut squash... might make soup. I may use the leeks to make soup, too.

I will definitely bake the sweet potatoes. I treat them just like
regular baking (white) potatoes. Skins rubbed with butter then
sprinkled with salt. Baked, about 375F about an hour. Nice crispy skin
outside, tender inside. A little butter, S&P, sour cream if you like.
Delicious!
