Jeff figured out how to disconnect the smoke detectors from the power source. Don't tell our landlord.

This means we had butternut squash pizza, and here is where I make a shameful confession- I am hooked on prepared food products. I'm practically Sandra Lee. I used the precooked beets from TJ's for the beet tzatziki, and pre-roasted peppers for the whipped feta. (I bought them from the same guy who sold me the feta, at the Farmer's Market, while hiding my face. I mean, do y'all know how easy it is to roast your own damn peppers?)

So I also of course used the pre-cut butternut squash for the puree I put on the pizza. And, because I am an idiot, assumed it was also pre-cooked. I discovered this was not the case when I put it in the food processor. And it shredded instead of puree-ing. I then figured I would just try cooking the shreds in some water and then repureeing. I hoped perhaps this would turn out to be a revolutionary cooking technique that would win me a job on America's Test Kitchen. I imagined the banter Chris Kimball and I would have- he would tease me for wearing goggles while chopping onions, I would point out that people with bowties have no room to mock... but of course the resulting puree was just, well, squash puree.

It was a pretty good pizza, though.
