Alfred had supervised the building of the (now BCF) farm house
over the winter of 1840/1841.

Above: Roasted cut-up Buttercup Squash, dressed in nothing but olive oil. 350 degrees,
until the flesh is tender (about 45 minutes)...add a dot of butter (if desired) and serve with sauteed bok choi, toasted squash seeds, rice, and garden salad.
The Buttercup Squash is sweet and needs neither sugar nor salt.
