Squash Steamed
Wash out or saw the squash in half crosswise; remove the seeds and stringy portions. Lay the prepared pieces inside down, in a steamer, over boiling water, and cook until thoroughly done; then take from the steamer and scrape the cooked squash clean from the shells. Put it in a heated bowl, season to taste with butter, salt and pepper, mash very smooth and serve in a very hot dish. In seasoning, add a very little sweet cream and a very small quantity of sugar.
