Squash Seeds and Apples

We're about off for the 2nd son's (Eric) college football game a couple hours away and we leave from there for Monte's parents.

Supper was on time bake while we visited some apple orchard 'stores'. So many apple samples, so many varieties of tastes you'd never imagine existed. Lots of heirloom types too. There's lots of abandoned apple trees on Scott and Chris's land. I was wondering if there's a DNA testing for apples. Some could have even got their start from Johnny Appleseed, who traveled the countryside and people wanted to hear his story-telling.

Supper? Chris cooked up butternut squash she got bulk of at the weekly Amish market. It was so good. But so much seeds! I can't throw them away. I almost always rinse off the seeds, put them in a small amount of water in a saucepan with a bit of salt and pepper, usually garlic and onion powder, but then anything could be added. Boil them almost dry and the seasoning penetrates. Then because the oven's usually been on, I just spread them on a cookie sheet and let them dry in the oven. The finally to our pork chops over potatoes, squash and salad meal was an apple pie. Great Fall meal.
