I just did a squash inventory in the garage. I have 21 squash! Seven of those fall into the "huge" category, including three marina de chioggia pumpkins, two French pumpkins, a hubbard and an enormous spaghetti squash.
The squash tally was prompted by plummeting temperatures and my newest root cellaring project (which is to wrap apples in newspaper and store them in a cardboard box.) I'll need to move them from the garage when it gets colder.
At dinner today I got my mom and her twin talking about their mother and her food preservation techniques. I definitely learned a few things. Wish I'd thought to ask my grandma about this when she was still alive.
I will blog about thanksgiving craziness later, when I can get some photos out of the camera. I hope you all had a wonderful day!

I look forward to hearing about how your apples in the root cellar hold up. I'm not sure it gets cold enough here in California. My squash stash is in the shoe closet/pantry. And doing fine.
