Unsatisfying Squash

Well hello there!  I am safe for another day!  About I month ago…I received the dreaded Juror Summons.  UGH.  I had to do it last year, luckily just went in for the morning and didn’t get questioned.  This week I’ve had to call every night to see if I have to report the following morning- and so far, so good!!!  (Fingers major-ly crossed).  I actually don’t work at my camp this week, our enrollment is so low that all of the counselors only work every other week, boo!  I love it my job so I’m actually pretty bummed, not to mention the dollaz.  I still teach swim lessons for a couple hours in the AM, and I got a boatload of errands done yesterday so it’s cool.

Breakfast in the gah-den…

So my neighbor grew a bunch of summer squash that I pictured a while back, and I decided to roast some for dinner.  I basically cut and seasoned them like I do with sweet potatoes or B-nut squash- Verdict: Meh, not so good.

I roasted it with broccoli, and I must say- roasted veggies is not my fave preparation.  I think I prefer sauteed or grilled veggies, these just tasted burnt!

Eaten with muchos leftovers from the party.

    i think its because summer squash is a “softer” veggie- if that makes any sense.. i feel like sweet potatoes or b-squash hold up better on the roasting pan!
    i went to jury duty once, and they delayed it for a year. i had just come back from a vacation and drove all the way there (an hour) they told me i didnt have to come.. booo! but they ended up delaying so i got to go home and kick back for the rest of the day!

    I definitely like my summer squash sauteed, not roasted. I hear ya there!

    Fro-yo + sprinkles = pretty, pretty.

    I’m lucky in that I’ve never been summoned! Knock on wood of course ;)

    Summer squash is only good sauteed or grilled me thinks! I’ve never tried it roasted and based on your review – I probably won’t! Enjoy the pool time!!

    Ya I tried the roasting summer squash before and ended up with mush!

    Pretty fro-yo!!!

    I always love the flowers and the fro yo on your blog. It should practically be a sub-title (Banana Cabana: Flowers & Fro Yo). :)

    Sooo I am going up to NC in a couple weeks and am thinking about making a pit stop in Atlanta at Trader Joe’s. Any “must gets” if I do? I would probably have no more than 30 minutes there, and I have a feeling I could probably spend 3 hours there!

    It’s been ages since I’ve had summer squash…I don’t even remember what it tastes like! Isn’t it basically just like yellow zucchini? I don’t remember :( Sorry you didn’t like yours though :( Old butternut just can’t be beat, eh? :)

  9. janetha Says:

    i have never been summoned for jury duty! ahck i will cross my fingers for you! mmm the ice cream is making me drool..

  10. Jenny Says:

    I’m totes not a fan of the roasted veg either — too mushy and soggy in my opinion, no?

    boo — jury duty.. hope they don’t get ahold of you.. don’t they know you’ve got better things to do?! like grocery shop and eat froyo.. durrrr!

    :)

    Ah, jury duty… I had it last summer and was the very first person bounced from the pool. Apparently I’m too blonde and white to sit on a jury for a crack cocaine dealer in an urban area…

  12. Erin Says:

    LOL, I’m one of the few people that LIKES jury duty. I’ve been called 6+ times and have never been selected to sit on a jury. I keep crossing my fingers, lol.

  13. Maggie Says:

    I had a disappointing squash the other day too. Unripe kabocha stinks! I do generally like roasted veggies though.

  14. fearlessfabulousfulloflife Says:

    hi girl!! keepin my fingers crossed for you as well! ive never had to do jury duty before but i dread the day i do!!

    sorry the squash was not satisfying– im not the biggest fan of summer squash– i dont find it all that flavor full and its a bit watery to me!! o well at least you had some fabulous froyo :) xxoxoox j

  15. Katie Says:

    Ick. I’ve never had to do jury duty and I hope I can continue to escape it forever. Unfortunately, I just moved to a much smaller county and it seems that people here get called at least every few months.

    That fro yo made my mouth water. I love sprinkles!

  16. Shelby Says:

    Horray for more sprinkled fro-yo!!!

  17. Melissa S. Says:

    yay for fro yo!

    and jury summons…oh the fun. i’ve been on two juries and have had to call in for one…such a hassle. but i think the first one you get is actually a good experience!

  18. Kristie Says:

    Summer squash has got nothing on winter squash. So sorry summery veg but you lose!

    I WANT that fro yo. SO badly.

  19. april Says:

    summy squash is really good if you sprinkle it with pepper and then put it on a panini press!

  20. eatlivelovedream Says:

    Yummy dinner! and fro yo of course!!!
    Good luck with the Jury duty! EEK!

  21. homegirlcaneat Says:

    Neva had that kinda squash! I am all about the b-nut, the sweet potat, acorn, and ummm that’s all I’ve had so far! But I am wanting a kobocha SO BADLY!

    Froyo looks beaut, par usual :D

  22. elise Says:

    i ADORE the way those little cherry tomatoes look sliced in half on the open faced sammie!

    way to get back to your fro yo roots :)

  23. Erica Says:

    I can’t get enough froyo- so freaking good! Bummer about the camp work only being every other week :( Do you think there are less kids because of the economy? Sad stuff. Good eats overall- what a great looking sammy
