Something horrific must have happened in the lifetime of the butternut squash plant for it to don such a diamond-hard outer shell. It has evolved into the most difficult squash to slice into.

An anti-instant gratification post {Sunless Sun-Dried Tomatoes}
Do you have four or five consecutive hours where you will be at home? Yes? Make these! They are ridiculously good.
