| ACORN SQUASH
The truth is most vegetable recipes are simple. For most vegetables all you need to do is heat them up by steaming, boiling or microwaving; then add a bit of margarine and butter along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. For me this formula is especially true with the squash family. The more you try to doctor up a squash the less I like it. A case in point is the acorn squash. It doesn't need all of those fancy marshmallows or a shot of cinnamon or any of that. It is best left adorned by a few simple ingredients.
Women too are best left unadorned - no, I don't mean completely unadorned. That has it's advantages, but this is not the time and place. What I mean is that women are best when they aren't doctored up with an excessive amount of makeup. I have noticed that the degree of a woman's confidence varies in inverse proportion to the amount of makeup she wears. It is also a sign that she is happy with herself, and not inclined to put on a false personality for the benefit of the world, (while inside exists another creature entirely). Marry a girl with a load of makeup and you don't know what you are getting into until after the honeymoon.
Of course, this rule is not a hard and fast one. Spinach can use some adornment and is probably better for being included in a quiche or a salad. Lettuce is good tossed with a bunch of other ingredients. But squash, well, try the following recipe and you will see what I mean.
By the way, when you meet up with a female of the species. Don't mention the vegetable theory, even if it compliments her. Women generally take offense at being compared to an acorn squash.
