A month or two back I bought a delicato squash at the farmers market along with acorn and butternut squash. I was going to cook one tonight but that didn't go well. 
I have never seen a squash this difficult to cut. I had to baton the knife to get into it and it broke apart by the time I was done. Is it possible to hybridize the dang things with hickory? Maybe they're not good storage squash? 
Anyhoo, there's an acorn squash in the oven now.

Got 4 visitors in my front yard this morning. They've shown up for the past 3 days, regular as clockwork. The buck only comes around at night.

On my other forum home a member mentioned boiled apple dumplings. To me, boiled dumplings were for meat dishes, and apple dumplings were baked.
Looked up recipes and Oh my goodness! Diced apples in the batter boiled in apple juice and the juice thickened for a sauce.
