Curried Butternut Squash Soup

New recipe alert! Tonight I made dinner on a theme of What Is In My Fridge (and About to Go Bad). The result was a delicious curried butternut squash soup. Place the following ingredients in the slow cooker for 6h on high or 10h on low:
1T EVOO
1 onion, chopt
2 garlic cloves, chopt
1/2T minced ginger
1/2T curry powder
2.5c stock
1/2lg butternut squash, peeled & chopt
1t sugar
1/2t salt
~1h before the soup is done, add ~7oz unsweetened coconut milk and 1T lemon juice.
Puree and garnish with cilantro.
I roasted some suspect root veggies on the side. Turns out 400 deg. for 1h cures root veggies of all ills.
This dinner came together with beautiful fall colors--orange squash & sweet potatoes, red beets, yellow potatoes. All these colors are not so beautiful as my dear cat, though, so I will leave you with another adorable photograph:

You know you're no longer in charge when the cat controls the remote.

Dan looks large and in charge. What are the gent's favorite programs?

Michael says he likes football, but that is false. The cat and I both fall asleep during football. His real favorite show is Oprah, because she can relate.
