YAMS -I prefer to bake them until the skin starts to get loose from the flesh. The yams get caramelized and have a smoother and richer texture than microwaving. I slather them in butter and I'm a happy camper. Not much of a showpiece for a holiday but I have to watch my sugar.

Tetsukabuto (F1) Hubbard Squash

The only unblemished squash was saved for my holiday side dish, prepared with brushed olive oil only. This variety had very good subtle sweet flavor. It might be interesting to try this with some of the sweeter preparation recipes in this thread to perk the flavor and not be overly sweet. Note sure how to keep it protected from the critters taking bites as it matures.
