Squash is good to eat right now–very plentiful (although not as plentiful as last year), and the orange color tells you

it’s full of life.

Eat this, and you will enjoy your day…

Cube 2 cups squash or pumkin, without the skin and seeds

Boil gently in 4 cups of water with a dash of sea salt for about 10 minutes.

Add 3-4 heaping tablespoons of kanten flakes (also called agar, it’s a seaweed available at Whole Foods, asian grocers, etc.), and dissolve.

Blend well, and pour into a shallow brownie pan or similar. Chill for two hours and enjoy! Better closer to room temperature, so take out for :30 before serving.

If you want it to be a little more tasty, add a spoonful of dissolved miso when you add the flakes.

For more sweetness, add 2 TS rice syrup and a dash of cinnamon or allspice.
