Anybody able to take the butternut squash pasta? I have the flu and still haven't tested it yet. Sorry to hand if off at the last moment, but I'd like to sleep for the next 2-3 days.

I'm clearly a bit late on the uptake here (this was my first food52 entry and I'm still figuring out the protocol!). Are all of the candidate recipes taken? I would love to test one if I still can. Sorry for being so slow...

Welcome! Yes, unfortunately they've all been claimed but if you do try any of them, please feel free to leave your notes in the recipes' comments sections. Next week's EPs will go up Thursday afternoon.

i'm all over those arancini. i miss rome.
though it's not on your list of your choices, i'm also making the butternut & celeriac gratin, though i think i'm going to add some cantuccini or almond biscotti to the breadcrumbs (a giada trick that is amazing with the squash). will let you know how it works.

Hi VanessaS. You can test the butternut squash and potato mash instead, if you'd like to, since you didn't get to call anything else. Just let me know if you want it. Otherwise I'll go ahead and test it.

Congratulations, SallyCan, on your EP! I'm going to do exactly what Natalie recommends: "Make room at [my] next fall feast" for this. Mmmmmm. So appealing!! I can almost taste it. ;o)

I would love to try the Harvest Squash Chocolate Chip Cakey Cookies. I can make some with nuts for friends/neighbors, but would have to make this without nuts for me to taste-test. If that's ok, I'd love to make them. If you want to wait for someone who can taste-test them with the nuts, I totally understand.

So you'll make some with and some without, that's fine. Thanks
