So who Knew? Via Courtney on Facebook

Courtney Chambers:  Hey Roberta, in north America we consider zucchini, pattypans, and crooknecks summer squash (which wikipedia tells me are harvested before they get too mature) and bigger squashes/gourds such as pumpkins, butternut squash, spaghetti squash, and Hubbard are known as winter squash.

You can read about it here:

Didn't you use to work in a RESTAURANT? Did the Stinson Beach Grill hate squash?

Isn't wikipedia wonderful?

I'm just getting all caught up on your blog and am fascinated by all you're learning!

In Marin County, only vegans eat squash. Eveyone else has to make do with Chantrelles...
