Assume you mean the story, right? I’d love to spend months listening to all the old folks about what eating local use to be like — the good,bad, hard and delicious…..Thanks!

I don’t think I would be able to do that. But after reading this writing here makes me feel a bit like I should do it.

Interesting. I’m not sure what soaking them makes sense as you have to roast off the water to make them crisp, but it certainly gets rid of the slimy fun stuff. Sound delicious! THanks for much for your comment….

Thanks, I plan to try it this weekend!

About the squash seeds, I kept making them the typically recommended way but they always turned out awful to my taste. Last week when I roasted pumpkin seeds, I tried something new: I soaked them in water (with some salt added, too) overnight, then laid them on a towel for a while to dry. Then I greased the bottom of the baking dish with a bit of butter, and roasted for approximately an hour (yes, an hour) on 225F. The slow and low roasting method after soaking really made a difference for me!
