There should be one homeless butternut at the very least, since a warm home was given to the bread
Still waiting for the skin to turn tan. We I liked it most as a soup, with roasted garlic! Would that make it more edible Danl? 
Follow your recipe for butternut squash soup, but leave out any onions and garlic...instead, put in for spices 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Right before serving, fold in
thoroughly(ask wifey or cooking person if you don't know what
fold means in cooking terms) 1/4 cup whipped cream (no sweetener) or sour cream per serving. You can serve this hot or chilled. A dab of sour cream or whipped cream on top with a dusting of nutmeg is a nice touch.
Yeah, chubby chick that adores cooking here! I can cook gourmet novelle cuisine on a woodstove or collard greens and ham-hocks and cornbread in a gourmet kitchen.

No one has EVER gone hungry around me! I lived in a tent for 5 months by myself in the NC mountains from Nov til March(was homeless after marriage break-up 5 years ago), always managed to have a hot breakfast and a hot dinner.
Back to independence and freedom..
Got a bit of a question...maybe
observation is a better word...
I advocate and live personal freedom to the highest degree.I do not pay taxes (other that gasoline and sales). I have never filed a *1040* or any of those other BS IRS forms. I don't bother them, they don't bother me. I opted out before I ever got opted in. I tell all my employers I am *tax exempt*. Usually work for cash anyway.Even ran my own business on a cash only basis and was quite successful.
I drive without a gov't issued license. The car is tagged and insured
but not in my name.
I do not use my SS#. (I doubt I can remember it!) If anyone asks for it, I tell them it is not necessary for that particular purpose, period. I have a bank account <shrug>, my bank gave me no problems. I used an old college i.d. and a state i.d. from another state (does not use SS# on it) that I got years ago to open my account.
Not one of my firearms is registered. It is no ones business but my own as to what and how many I own. I buy from private sellers. (Bless Texas yard sales...yes, YARD SALES!)
I have people appalled at these admissions. I have people constantly tell me "But I can't do that! What about my 401k, my pension, I have kids, what about my tax *refund*?"(actually, the belated return of funds they lent the gov't. interest free!)
My question is:
Why are you afraid? What the hell can they do to you? Put you in jail? You have already been raped or otherwise divested of most of your freedoms, why give the government even MORE control?
Sorry...bit of rant there....
