friend is coming for lunch. WTF am I going to make??

[SirDigbyChickenCaesar]

I have butternut squash, some sad looking rocket, parm cheese, cous cous...various other veg.

it'll be soup won't it? i always do soup.

dash to Maccas, I would say.

LOL

i WISH!!

cripes, where do you live, the moon?
well then your best bet is to dice the bnsq into 1cm cubes, heat some good olive oil and some butter in a roasting tin in a hot oven and then through in the bnsq, season with salt and pepper and let it roast til done.
Make the cous cous up with boiling water and stir through more butter and grated parmesan and then cover with foil.

You should make some pesto with your sad rocket, use the oil the bnsq roasted in and any nuts that you have and salt and pepper.

Look in the freezer and find some frozen veg, cook it til al dente and stir through the cous cous and place in nice bowl. Top with bnsq and pesto and if you have some nice tomato chutney or some other kind but not branston, then serve that as well

blimey suzywong - would you like to come and be my personal chef? Or just the person that comes up with the ideas?

Blimey SW. I'm going to have that for dinner now.

LOL

blimey suze. you are good.

(and no i don't live on the moon but i also don't have a car so drive-thru ain't an option. )

LOL at the use of the word 'Blimey'!!!!

Thank you for the praise, but I am a Pro and just doing my job

ah....

i am still impressed.

sorry, can i hijack your thread and ask a daft question?

do you peel the squash pre roasting it?

yes

you do

the best way to tackle the beast is to cut it in half lengthways, then cut each half, flat side down on board, in to 2 inch slices, then lay them flat and chop off the peek in one downward motion, turning the piece round as you work your way along its curves.

I would also like to recommend some chopped peeled tomatoes put through the cous cous and some unpeeled cloves of garlic put in to the roasting tin wiht the squash, but not eaten

I think I am guilding the lilly now and just plain showing off so I shall cease

i don't think i'll be able to do pesto as all i have on the nut front are peanuts.

squash is peeled and diced. garlic peeled.

cous cous ready to go.

even made some flapjacks.

oh yes i am good.

then just wilt it in a hot pan with a bit of water and then chop it and blend with garlic and oil

good girl for the flapjacks

Hijack I am afraid but does BNS make anyone elses hands dry and horrid when you peel it?

No
You are a freak

don't peel squash pre roasting, it's pretty hazardous and pointless

imo

I like eating the skin after roasting - will I die?

Thought as much.....

It makes my hands skanky too. And I like eating the skin. Scuttles back to the loony bin.
