Calabasa

It was last week when somebody left this calabasa (squash) outside the front porch. My husband said that my brother in-law and my sister came to visit us but nobody heard the door bell ringing no matter how many times they rung the door bell or knocked at our door.

Huh?! How many times I told them that they have to call first. Ang sabi ko sa kanila noon tumawag muna sila dahil pag nasa itaas na kami ng bahay hindi na namin marinig yung mga katok. I don't know how many times I suggested or advised them about it. So many times since year 2014. I think they like to surprise us though, but I don't really like surprises.

Anyway, thanks for the cute calabasa. What to do with it? Turn the squash into a beautiful carousel or a gorgeous limousine? Ha!  ha! Too early for Halloween.

Nah, waited for days before I cut the squash for a viand. My husband was kind of impatient to know what's inside, because he weighed it and it's kind of too light as if it's a gourd of some kind as in hollow inside. I showed him the many seeds inside and when all seeds are taken out the squash look more like a bowl with thin walls. I mean the rind is somewhat too thin. Whatever, I cut the squash into cubes and used it for viand with shrimps and coconut milk.
