YUMMY SQUASH CUSTARD
This is a recipe that I got from an old friend and then changed just a bit to fit our family. My father-in-law used to make it with white/patty-pan squash, but I have used many kinds: zucchini, white, yellow crookneck, spaghetti squash, and even pumpkin, all with great results, even sometimes mixing two squashes. Most people trying this would not believe it is squash. Enjoy! Serve warm.
