I think I’m over spaghetti squash. I was never really that into it, but I felt like I should be into it, so I kept trying and forcing Chris to try even though I could tell he didn’t understand why he was eating squash that is shaped like spaghetti and not just real spaghetti.
I don’t really understand either. I know it’s good for you, but I just don’t really like it that much. I’d rather have the pasta. I’m sorry.
Anyway, I’m talking about this because last night I tried to make the Spaghetti Squash Mexicana from Veganomicon:
I didn’t have a few of the ingredients, including pretty much everything required to make the Tropical Avocado Salsa Fresca. So I just left it out. I also left out the red wine, because we didn’t have any. Wine goes pretty fast around here.
Anyway, it was okay. Not Veganomicon’s fault, because I obviously skimped on the recipe. But I think it would have been better without the spaghetti squash. Then it would have been, essentially, chili again. But I like chili, so I’m okay with that.
I also had some tea yesterday, notable because I’m not really a tea drinker and also because there is a pup in the background of the picture:
After I took this, he proceeded to remove the tea bag from the cup when I wasn’t looking. He is one sneaky little guy. And talented, too, because he didn’t even spill the tea.
Wow! He is one talented little doggie, mine would have spilled tea everywhere:)
Impressive! I spill when I remove the teabag!
yum, looks fabulous!
Yeah, the spaghetti squash here hasn’t been too good lately, so I’m over it too
I definitely like spaghetti squash, but I’m taking a break from it too. You have to make the whole thing at once…so then you have to eat it almost every day, it’s easy to get tired of.
Did he really take the tea bag without spilling the tea? Get that dog on TV!
Is it wrong that I almost spitted water out of my nose when I read the title?
Yeah?
God, I’m a perv.
I tried really hard to like spaghetti squash too and just couldn’t do it. Even when I added a ton of butter.
I’m glad I’m not the only one NOT in love with spaghetti squash. I don’t mind it and it’s been made into some decent dinners, but I can only handle it in small doses sporadically. It just doesn’t nearly compare to actual pasta.
Spaghetti squash is not spaghetti. Period. It shouldn’t even have the name “spaghetti” it in. I love my veggies, but sorry, it obviously needs to be called out.

I haven’t had spaghetti squash, so I can’t say much on that. I was thinking of trying it too… but I guess I won’t expect it to scream “pasta” since I have heard not that many people have it.
