Got me stumped. Wish you were nearby (Penna) so I could send you a 2lb container and you could taste it for yourself, or watch you make it and figure out what the heck happened...

Chicken broth, cream, and I think it was butternut squash. As for the shell, I liquefied it with everything else. After reading over your page again I saw that I was to discard it. Oh well. I'm trying to keep my wife and I from starving to death.

We just had a baby girl and she's (wife) running on fumes. So for tonight I decided to stick with what I know - I've been smoking a 15 pound beef brisket since early this morning. I grew up in Texas and learned how to cook a brisket that'll make you slap your Momma.

Here's me and the culprit. Her name's Marion, shown here at 2 days old.

That is a very precious gift. Enjoy your daughter every minute.

What a little cutie! No, NOT you, J!

"As for the shell, I liquefied it with everything else"

There's the problem, J. The shell is coated with a waxy substance to get it to market without damage or bruising. It'd be like frying a waxy candle for a hot dog bun. YUK!

And here's what butternut squash look like (scroll down):

Next time, PLEASE don't eat the shell; just the wonderful meat inside. You don't eat watermelon or cantelope rinds, do you?

What state are you in? Maybe I could express a 2-3lb tub to you for sampling...
