Thanks.

I grow my own pumpkins and squash. After toughening the outer skin, my pumpkins store well in the garage (cold but no freeze. Pumpkins last me 3,4 months. The winter squash goes up to 6 months.

I did found some venison curry recipes but FR recipes always seem to be better.

Can’t get to her till tomorrow. We have a small organic farm while in retirement. I handle the fields, fruits, vegetables, most of the venison, she does the herbs, bees, canning, puttin up. We split the chickens. I grow about 60 different things. Everything is dried, canned, stored, dehydrated, or frozen to eat year round. She keeps a spreadsheet as I am a fanatic about making sure we use up what we grow each year or know the carryover so I know how much of what I need to plant come spring. Did I say I was retired? I musta forgot about that.

I try new squash varieties most years. This year I had pumpkin, hubbard, butternut, spaghetti, acorn, pink banana, delicata, and georgia candy roaster. Some of each in storage in root bins built under her kitchen storage shed. She’s a gourmet cook so yes she needs a storage shed for all her kitchen stuff!! We usually eat the last of the squash come April.

Something good to do with butternut, hubbard, or a sweet pumpkin is after you finish it in the oven, stick it in a smoker for only about 15 minutes. Too long and it gets bitter. Using that as an addition to cornbread, oatmeal, breads, pies. It adds a great flavor.

Finally got it. It is the field and stream one found here:

But you have to have a couple of red stripe beers while savoring!!!
