freshly ground black pepper
salt

My thoughts:

It has been unseasonably warm here lately and I've been trying to pretend that is is not mid-November but something more like March, with warmer weather around the corner. But, alas that is not true and I have to resign myself to making some of the few vegetables available right now. This squash dish ended up being pretty tasty! It used up the last of the winesaps I had and the pearl onions were nicely caramelized. I liked the pop of the mustard and squash seeds as well. A great side for a fall day.
