speaking of french festivals

i'm going to this one this year

http://www.garden-nef-party.com/

-because the atmosphere is supposed to be excellent, kinda independent rock festival

-because due to the location, it's most likely to be sunny

-because the line up seems good, and we are still waiting for a dozen other names

-because there's only two or three stages so you don't have to walk for hours to go from one stage to another

-because for 70 euros you've got the two day pass and the camping

p.s from france,

i'd like to see Olivia Ruiz because she rocks,

i don't like Vitalic and i've seen him twice already,

Emilie Loizeau is supposed to be good,

and Sliimy looks like a copy of Mika just missing the high pitched voice but really good production.

have you ever

heard of/ bought/ cooked this vegetable?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this is a butternut squash (une courge butternut en francais)

anyone has advice for me on how to cook it?

 

i found this recipe

Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Fill the scooped out area with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Wrap each half in foil and place on the grill, cut side up.
The longer you leave them on the grill on a low heat the better they get.

or there's a lot here:
