Squash on a stick? Never heard of that. Do you just oil it and grill, kinda like the okra pods?
I bet you're familiar with this. I found some good looking squash at the store this weekend and got a craving for the way we fixed it when I was a kid.
I sliced it and boiled it with some onions, butter and salt until tender. Then drained and added a good bit of cheese to melt. I used Kraft sliced American,
'cause that's what we had back then.
That hit the spot for me! Actually, it was beyond tender - a bit mushy - which worked out well because my mother, who just had oral surgery, took home and
enjoyed all the leftovers.

OKie Mam, all Squash on a Stick is would be a Shish K-Bob. My favorite way to grill them BTW. I used to make them a lot back when I kept lots of Venison in our freezer. I would cut the Backstrap into approx1/2" cubes and then alternate with squash chunks, own-yawns, jalapeno chunks after seasoning and constant basting with Zesty Italian Dressing until done.
That receipe doesn't ring a bell but it sounds good and I may try it later.

Ah, shish kabobs - okay, gotcha. Sounds good.
I don't know that that's really a recipe - just kind of seems like we boiled almost all vegetables. EXCEPT okra - that was always fried!

Gotcha - - - speaking of Okra, I fried some the way my Daddy in Law used to and it's definitely our favorite fried way now. Brown bacon until halfway done, dump in sliced okra and continue frying, when they are done, season, toss in a little cornmeal and own-yawns and then fry until everything is united and done.

Ooh, that does sound good. I'm gonna try that!

Same here, when it thundered a while ago, I thought of your garden and whether it was raining there.

Re: 2021 Garden Thread
To say the least, it’s been an extremely difficult year gardening. The peppers and Okra are starting to do well. I’m going to pickle some tender Okra tomorrow and make some sliced Bread and Butter Jalapeños. I haven’t decided what I’m going to do with that mountain of Cayennes yet. I’m open to suggestions if anyone has an idea or recipe

Re: 2021 Garden Thread
Only thing I an suggest on the cayennes, other than canning, would be a dehydrator and then grind as a seasoning maybe ?

I don’t have a dehydrator and the only thing I can think of for canning is just a 50/50 Distilled Water and Vinegar mix with maybe a tablespoon or 2 of canning salt
