\nAll is said and done. [Beyonce]. \nHere I am. \nLooking in the mirror. \nAn open face, the pain erased. \nNow the sky is clearer. \nI can see the sun. \nNow that all is, all is said and done, oh. \n[Marc].
2. Cut off the top. Place the squash on a large cutting board. Hold the thicker end of the squash with one hand, and use the other to cut approximately 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) off the narrow end, just below the stem. The slice should be clean and even.
Peel and slice the squash. Use a vegetable peeler to shave off the peel and a sharp knife to cut the squash into 1-inch (2.5-cm) slices. 1  Cut 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the top and bottom of the squash. 2  Discard pieces. 3  Use a serrated vegetable peeler to remove the thick skin until you reveal the orange flesh beneath. Dot the cut surface with small chunks of butter. 2  Sprinkle salt and pepper over the squash. 3  This should be done according to taste, but if you are uncertain where to start, use roughly 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) salt and 1/8 tsp (0.62 ml) pepper per quarter. 4  Additional herbs and seasonings can also be used.
