Spaghetti Squash
It used to be that the week we put spaghetti squash in your tote I would find myself in front of the computer writing an advocacy piece for this much-maligned winter squash. It seems the food tides have turned in the past few years though and spaghetti squash has been lifted by the wave of gluten-free mania and carried to new shores where its Fall arrival is greeted by hordes of screaming fans, all dying for some alternative to noodles.

It's a humble Hindenburg of a squash and always one of the first to go out because it doesn't need curing time like some of the others. If you cut your squash in half and bake it, then scrape out the cooked flesh with a fork, you'll have a pile of squash strings that closely resemble noodles. From there you can go in any direction: smother your "noodles" in marinara sauce, dress them up with chili, make fritters, or keep it simple with a little butter. Kids marvel at noodles that grew inside a squash, so have them help you make dinner this week.

Final Week of Salad Shares
This is your last distribution of Abby's Greens for the season. If you can't imagine life without them, you can still source them for awhile longer from a variety of local stores: the Port Orford Community Co-op, the Langlois Market, Mother's Natural Grocery and McKay's (both in Bandon), and Coos Head Co-Op in Coos Bay. An enormous thank you to Abby for her tireless dedication to growing the most beautiful baby greens I've ever met.
