SOUTHERN FRIED #2-RECIPE
First, I want to tell all those that made a post on the first carnival: “I enjoyed reading your posts”.
Stewed Down Squash w/Onions.
A little bacon drippings in the bottom of a skillet (just enough to cover the bottom) – 1 medium onion peeled and cut in slices or medium diced – 3-4 medium yellow squash cut into pieces about 2 inches long and 1/4 inch thick. Squash does not need to be peeled, just wash thoroughly . Salt and pepper to your taste.
On heat about halfway between medium and low cook onion until it changes color, add cut up squash and maybe 1/4 cup water. Cover and let simmer until squash are done. Check and stir often. After squash are done, if you want them a little brown remove lid, turn up heat and let most of the liquid evaporate, stirring frequently to keep from burning.
Recipe can be increased to meet the needs of your family. Keep in mind that squash shrink quite a bit when cooked. Enjoy.
Til Next Time

You know, I haven’t eaten squash in years because the grocery-store stuff has no flavor. I grew up picking it (or whatever veggies were on the menu)in the afternoon for the evening meal. Now that was good stuff. I get some farmer’s stuff out where I live now, but I guess it’s meeting “market standards” because it just doesn’t have the flavor. Kinda, sorta tastes like … plastic.
You make it sound so good, anyway. Mahalo for sharing !
