I have to give him the evil eye whenever we pass by the cold cuts/frozen meat section of the grocery, if not, he'll just load the bacon in and both our cholesterol levels will be up there for the next few days. Anything with bacon is a hit to him...but then again, you can pair anything with bacon and it WILL taste good...I even tried a bacon wrapped strawberry once and it worked. I partner breathes bacon.

Hispanic groceries carry calabasa which is similar but bigger and less dense than kabocha. Harvest is late summer, early fall September-Nov. on the East coast. You should be able to get it CA 6 months of the year. Butternut squash is a readily available substitute. Sctoo, Thai groceries always carry kabocha squash.

MM has good recipe and tips on pinakbet that you may want to search on his archive. if you can't find that fermented anchovy sauce try the French anchovy just to be a little more creative. by the way the squash or courgette blossom will taste great on that pinakbet. enjoy!!! welcome Scott to Filipino cooking and hope you can share to us yr own creation that enhance our food. for the bitter melon with reddish seed nothing wrong with that just that it is almost ripe but if the outside still stay green it is still good for me.

If it does have that red membrane, it just indicates that the ampalaya is on the verge of getting what we call "hinog" like on the verge of maturing. If it was left on the vine, it would have been ideal for seeds! If you are in CA, then you probably have ideal weather than we have here for squashes. Kabocha (winter squash ) takes about more or less 100 days to mature from transplanting date. That is why, I start the seeds indoors and out inthe garden they go by May 24th because we have short summers here. It is a warm weather vegetable....needs heat! So, most likely with this climate change and global warming, it didn't have sufficient heat so it can grow to full maturity. If you know anyone who grows squashes (maybe MARIA CLARA?)and are the lucky recipient of one of those gigantic hubbard squashes, prep them, cut into cubes and FREEZE!
