Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

In small bowl, mix bread crumbs, cheese and 1 tablespoon of the butter-garlic mixture. 4. Brush squash slices with remaining butter-garlic mixture. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and bread crumb mixture. 5. Bake uncovered 30 to 40 minutes or until squash is tender when pierced with fork.

	While that step is appreciated, I should have been clearer in my question Butternut Squash is the mist difficult and irritating vegetable I have ever had the displeasure of being asked to cut up for my wife. The Squash was so hard to cut through that I feared for my fingers. I'm sure there must be an easy way to make it softer for cutting, but I'm no chef and my culinary experience sadly stems mostly from this messageboard -----signature----- Excess - hellscream

	Thanks, Rudy. That sounds delicious, I'll have to try it. Cutting up Butternut squash is a lot easier with a really sharp chef's knife. Silver -----signature----- Women who behave themselves rarely make history. My Give-A-Damn's Busted. http://www.thewufs.com/2003venture/motortrike.htm

	I'm getting the feeling there really isn't some insider secret to softening it up first -----signature----- Excess - hellscream
