Mom's Winter Squash

Wash the squash and cut into halves or quarters. Remove the seeds. Place the pieces in a Pyrex flesh down. Add a 1/4 to 1/2 inch of water to the bottom of the Pyrex dish. Cover with foil. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until tender. Drain the water off and turn the squash flesh side up. Season with salt, pepper, and butter. Serve warm.

6 to 8 ripe tomatoes
4 green onions
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 to 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Handful fresh parsley leaves, lightly chopped
12 fresh basil leaves, chiffonade

Cut the tomatoes into 4 wedges, then cut the wedges in half and add to a bowl. Lop off the tops of the green onions, then slice the white and mostly light green parts really thin. Add to the tomatoes. Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, dash of salt and pepper to a jar. Screw on the lid and shake to combine. Pour the dressing over the tomatoes and toss. Add the herbs and gently toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving.
