2007 - The Year of the Squash

I love this lens because its quirkiness is perfectly Squidoo! This lens was made to support lensmaster Barrie’s friend Janet in her quest to open her mind by eating one new vegetable a year…

“When I met my friend Janet she only ate four vegetables: corn, potatoes, carrots and iceberg lettuce. That was in 1986. Determined to widen her horizons, over the years Janet has chosen one vegetable per year that she has vowed to “eat until I like it”. This year I witnessed history as she chose squash to be her vegetable of the year. To commemorate this momentous occasion, and help her in her endeavor, I promised to make her a squash lens.”

The lens covers everything from the history of squash, squash recipes, selecting the right squash, and how to make sure your kids have a soft spot for squash. After seeing this lens, hopefully you too will feel similarly affectionate towards Squash, and join Janet in celebrating “the Year of the Squash”!
