A letter of appeal

Dear CSA folk who give us yummy food every week,

Let us guess -- it must be squash season. We suspect this because squashes keep showing up in our basket *(we're quick, aren't we?). 

Accordingly, we have had squash soup. Squash salad. Squash and pasta. Roasted squash. More squash soup. More squash everything. (I really cannot recommend Lucky Charms Squash, however.) 

Everyone may have their own opinion, but we personally believe that the best way to consume squash is to drown it in syrupy goodness, such that the squash becomes merely a vehicle for conveying all that sugar to one's mouth. Our own experiments suggest that the best ratio of squash to sweetness is roughly 1 to 8. As in, squash ala mode. Yes!

Not that we are against all the nutritious food we receive. We know that you work very hard to bring your customers the best produce and other foods around. But we have a longing, just once, to have something a little different in our weekly basket. 

Might we suggest chocolate?

Clearly this would require a shift of focus for a CSA. We could start with what CSA stands for. Chocolate States of America? Chocolate Supporters Anonymous? Think about it, won't you?

A neighbor recently attempted to come up with some combination involving chocolate that would not be tasty. It was hard. Chocolate goes with pretty much everything -- even, as you might know, as a secret ingredient in an eggplant dish.

So if squash will be making yet another appearance in the baskets, we would suggest pairing it with some chocolate. Who knows? Chocolate squash soup might be just the thing.

Sincerely,

All Squashed Out
