This reminds me of a time when my mom cooked some acorn squash and forgot to poke holes in it...BLAM-O - it exploded inside the oven. What a mess! This sounds good.

Hey Keni, This sounds really good. I think this is the first time I didn't make acorn squash last winter. This reminds me how much I like it.
