Acorn Squash Alfred

9/1/2022

This squash kind of resembles an acorn, I guess. It looks more like a spinning top. When I found this in Target I thought it was just a small gourd that you use to decorate your house or counter with for fall. This squash is mainly orange but has large dark green patches on it. The stem almost looks like a hershey’s kiss. It is not very pretty, but it is unique. I don’t know how many different things you can do with acorns squash, maybe that’s why there were so many just sitting there.

I’m writing this trying to remember exactly how my squash looks. I went away this weekend and completely forgot about the thing. I very much dislike how I have to remember to bring it with me to school, and on my trip. Its a hassle, no one wants to be carrying around a squash all the time. I’m hoping none of my cats knock it down and break it open. When I left it looked exactly the same, no rotting, no smell, just the same old boring squash. Even though I find the squash a hassle it is unique, I wouldn’t want to write about any other fruit. I did name him Alfred so he maybe isn’t all that bad.
