I was so excited to use my spaghetti squash, and happy that Ben gave me the idea to use a recipe from How it all Vegan. The recipe was for Stuffed Spaghetti Squash and had mushrooms, lentils, bread crumbs, etc...as the stuffing. :P Sounded good to me!

After an hour of trying to get my knife unstuck from the squash, I stuffed the insides with that really great mixture! (Smelled so good!) Then, something went wrong. My squash baked forever in the oven and never got soft. Not even a BIT. I went well past the time listed in the recipe book, but this squash had issues. After a very long time, I tested the squash. Holy shit. I thought I was going to die. It was SO bad...no - beyond bad... it seriously tasted poisoned. (not the filling! That was good...just the squash!) I spit it out and washed my mouth out forever and tried to think if I ever wrote out that will I was intending to write. I was so convinced it was poisoned, that I tried to figure out if I had any real enemies who would switch my salt for something toxic. It was really that bad tasting.

After I realized I was going to survive this after all, I went back to the kitchen for more food. LOL! I ended up making Faux Egg Salad, for the first time ever. It sounded really gross, so I never bothered making it before. I was SO wrong! This may be a new lunch favorite for us! Britty loved it too. We had the "egg" salad in spelt pocket bread with spring greens on it and fresh basil and dill. Fresh dill is the best, isn't it? We had a fruit salad of kiwi, banana, and red pear chunks and ate them with our tiny fondue skewers. Much better than poisonous squash!!

Do you think I could have gotten a bad squash? It looked fine other than being incredibly difficult to cut. It didn't smell or look bad at first. I'm going to try it again, but will have an ax on hand to cut the squash, and Ipecac Syrup...just in case. Maybe I should not have guests when I do that. Lol!
