Once the chicken was nearly done, I thought about what we'd eat with that salty-sweet chicken. Hmm, that carnival squash has been hangin' out in the kitchen about 2 weeks; it's due to be cooked.

Carnival squash.
What's a simple, fast way to prepare squash?
Steam it in the microwave.
First, halve the squash.

Remove the pulp and seeds with a spoon.

Place halves cut-side down in an 8x8 baking dish, add about 1/2 cup water, cover dish with plastic wrap and pierce the plastic a few times with a fork.

Microwave approximately 10 minutes or until squash is fork-tender. Drain water; let stand cut-side up a few minutes before serving.

These were certainly fork-tender...and water-logged. I'd cut the water by half when I try it again. They still tasted ok, just a little, uh, watery.
Cost:
- carnival squash: $0.81
