Entry 1
The acorn squash. Such an odd… vegetable? Or is it a fruit? Not sure. The colors remind me of fall and the orange splotch tells me that pumpkins may grow near. And the bumps. I keep wondering how those grow. Where do acorn squash come from? Do you throw an acorn and a squash into a hole and call it a day? Who knows? Are acorn squash edible? I’ve never heard of it being in any recipes and I’ve definitely never eaten one on its own. The shape definitely resembles an acorn. Does that mean it tastes like squash? Couldn’t tell you. I doubt people actually eat these, anyways.
Entry 2
I’m back. Sitting in my basement with this odd vegetable. I still haven’t done any research on this thing. It’s quite heavy. I still wonder how it grows to be this shape and color. Are they native to the US? If only this thing could talk. I imagine it having a somewhat masculine voice with an eccentric personality. I plan on cutting this thing open once we’re done writing about them. The stem seems to have been cut. Do acorn squash grow on vines? This orange splotch is still throwing me off. Where did it come from? I feel like this thing is older than I may think it is.
The questions you asked helped my thought process branch out and go into deeper thought about your organic fruit. I like how you imagined what it would be like if it were be able to talk.
Thank you for your feedback! Your comment lets me know some things to continue doing in my upcoming writings!
I liked how you used questions to further analyse your Acorn Squash. I also wonder what the Acorn Squash tastes like because I haven’t had one.
Thanks for the comment! Maybe one day we can have an acorn squash meal together!
Absolute riot. Talk about description with self-conscious observation of the mind at work. My favorite line of many favorites: “Where do acorn squash come from? Do you throw an acorn and a squash into a hole and call it a day? Who knows?” I’m glad in a way that you never got around to researching the acorn squash. It’s too much fun seeing it your way.
