“Remoted” Workday 190 / Day 288 (Tuesday)

Spaghetti squash cheese bake.

The ten-ton spaghetti squash roasted yesterday is going to take forever to be gone. This thing could have fed an entire family. For a week. I've already had two meals of it, with barely a dent made in the volume and no end in sight. In an effort to shorten the timeline, half of the squash was baked in a dish with grated cheeses. Supper was the highlight of the day. For 288 days, food is often the high point of the day. 

A baking dish was layered with spaghetti squash, then cheddar, then squash, then a mix of cheddar and gouda with jalapeno, a thin layer of squash, and a topping of bread crumbs. After 30 minutes it came out of the oven. Overall, it was good, but would benefit from a spice or two. Or maybe more cheese. It could be argued that the way to improve many recipes is simply “more cheese.” If I make this again, I’ll do a melted cheese sauce so it mixes more with the spaghetti squash to coat it more thoroughly like macaroni and cheese.
