Spaghetti Squash
Per Lemon’s above-linked recipe, I finally tried cooking spaghetti squash tonight. I sort of did a combo of her recipe and the directions on the outside of the squash. I microwaved the whole thing for 5 minutes to soften the skin and then tore into it with the biggest knife I have, trying to cut it up. It’s a slippery little f***er!
Then, I scooped as much out as I humanly could and put the rest back in the microwave to soften it some more. It’s now boiling on the stove.
How do you make spaghetti squash?

About Me
After seven years (and probably seven million calories) of living in D.C., I moved to NYC in August 2008. After a few months of eating my way through the city, I realized this had to stop and nipped my temptations in the bud. Here's the story of how a girl lost 50 pounds in the most tempting city known to woman. My next big challenge? The Chicago Marathon. 10.10.10.
