Pumpkin Day 26

So I bought this bag of already cut pumpkin cubes at Trader Joes and they did not work.  The whole bag of them smelled sour when I opened it.  I thought maybe that's just how raw pumpkin smells?  But I tried cooking a test batch and it tasted terrible.  No good.

Luckily I had this thing called a golden nugget squash that looks enough like a little pumpkin that it will work for my pumpkin day today.  Because I really wanted to to make this recipe from my new Martha Stewart magazine.

The recipe actually called for butternut squash but of course I was going to substitute pumpkin or, as it turned out, this golden nugget squash.  Mmm, mmm!  This was so delicious!! It even got a vigorous approval from the Husband.
