Well, I tried the squash dumplings today, not worth the work. However, I also tried mixing some squash right into the noodle dough, and that was pretty good. The noodles are drying now.

(I also went online and figured out what I’d been doing wrong with my pasta machine. Every time I had tried to use it the noodles came out wrinkly and torn, but this time they came out nice and smooth. Hurray!)

I was hoping to save the seeds from those squash to sell, but every single seed was sprouting inside the squash! Good thing a got seeds from 2 already.

Usually I do my big seed inventory in December, and order seeds in January. This year I’ve been too busy at work to do my big inventory, and I’m still working on my list of what to order. For a while at least I’ll have Mondays to myself to work on stuff. I convinced my boss to let me trade Mondays for Saturdays because of how hard it is for me to deal with the background noise during the week. I have hyperacusis, and I’m supposed to have a special headset to help with that, but the order is taking forever to get through all the red tape. 4 months and counting!

But, with no family at home on Mondays I can actually get stuff accomplished now. Such as making noodles out of my home-grown squash :)
