    Looks good.

    I made carnival squash chips last night with pork chops.

    One whole carnival squash, peeled, de-seeded, cut into large chunky chips, then put in a baking tray with splash of oil and a generous sprinkling of garlic and rosemary, stuck in the oven. Yummy!!

    Looks fabulous. I make mine with some maple syrup brushed on the halves, then about 10 mins before they are done, I put diced pear and walnuts in the middle with some cinnamon. Soooooo good.
