I steam it for a couple minutes. We also eat the zucchini and summer squash without cooking, just cover with heated sauce.
There are also commercial,products available. I’m sure I’ve seen beets and butternut squash. But it saves 75% to do your own spiralizing. You can buy a device for about $10-25 on Amazon I think. Mine has the crank handle, but there are other styles. |

Thanks, I have a spiralizer which came with my Cuisinart but haven't found a lot of use for it - so happy to see new ideas!

Carrots are good too. And hard (usually root) veggie works.

Not for me...either real pasta or nothing. But I would love to see you make bucatini out of a veggie. :p

Significant birthday celebration at Smyth a couple of weeks ago.
You don't know what you're served until it is served. They do ask for and accommodate most dietary restrictions. We were emailed the printed menu a few days after dinner. My apologies for the all caps in the descriptions. I was not about to retype the entire menu, so I copied and pasted. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a8924f2e47.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5c6614dda9.jpg VASE OF ASPARAGUS WITH OYSTER (when we sat down, we thought that this was a flower arrangement) https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4e1253a92f.jpg SEVERAL SERVINGS OF CHILLED SHELLFISH BARELY COOKED LOBSTER CLAW SEASONED WITH SALTED FALL STRAWBERRIES WILD MAINE MUSSEL WITH CHARRED RAMPS & LIGHTLY WHIPPED CREAM SCALLOP WITH HAZELNUT & BLACKENED YUZU 2017 MAXIMIN GRUNHAUS, ABTSBERG, RIESLING GG, MOSEL, GERMANY https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1e0993d927.jpg CHILLED AVOCADO, A PASTE OF BANGKOK GUAVA & HOJA SANTA 2018 FONTODI, MERGGIO, SAUVIGNON BLANC, TUSCANY, ITA LY https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3b62784171.jpg KALUGA CAVIAR GENTLY WARMED IN BUCKWHEAT BUTTER, ALMOND MILK & NEWLY PRESSED WALNUT OIL 12 YEAR EL MAESTRO SIERRA, AMONTILLADO, JEREZ, SPAIN https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a8402e10ca.jpg SPRING ASPARAGUS WITH A SALAD OF SPRUCE, SHOOTS & BEE POLLEN 2018 KELLER, WEIBER BURGUNDER & CHARDONNAY, RHEINHESSEN, G E R M A N Y https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a2b2712a34.jpg MAINE LOBSTER TAIL COOKED OVER THE EMBERS WITH HONEY & BARLEY BUTTER, SEASONED WITH PINE & BEE POLLENS HENRI BILLIOT, CUVÉE LAETITIA, AMBONNAY, GRAND CRU CHAMPAGNE, FRANCE https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d4f7eade3e.jpg FOIE GRAS SWIMMING IN A BROTH OF GUINEA HEN, WASABI LEAF & SEAWEEDS 3 YEAR HAKKAISAN, JUNMAI GINJO, UONUMA, JAPAN https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...597cc1bc1f.jpg HALIBUT SWIMMING IN A BROTH OF GUINEA HEN, WASABI LEAF & SEAWEEDS (substitution for the non-liver eating member of our party) https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0daed79e06.jpg SLOW ROASTED LAMB LOIN, PINE CONE & ALLIUMS SAVORY ECLAIR WITH SAUCE & FERMENTED SHIITAKE MUSHROOM BLACK WALNUT & ARMAGNAC TEA BLACK MALT MACARON FILLED WITH CHOCOLATE 2015 LE PETIT LION DU MARQUIS DE LA CASES, SAINT JULIEN, BORDEAUX, FRANCE https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...55bc6dd02c.jpg The Savory Eclair https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e621004dda.jpg The Black Malt Macaron (the red liquid is a bullion with some pig blood in it, my dining companions receive a clear version, as they eat neither pork products nor blood) https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0ac9d6b9ff.jpg NAGAMI KUMQUATS WITH CITRUS BLOSSOM, EUCALYPTUS & SHEETS OF ICE https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3edc6ef016.jpg SUBTLY FLAVORED CUSTARD OF ROASTED KELP WITH BLUEBERRIES 2012 BUSSOLA, RECIOTO DELLA VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO, VENETO, ITALY 500ML https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5e291874dd.jpg RHUBARB LICORICE https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...81b3f891a2.jpg PRESERVED EGG YOLK TAR TLET, MARIGOLD & JASMINE https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a9d6ac4b84.jpg MILK CHOCOLATE GANACHE, BLACK RASPBERRY & SPRUCE https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ea866242e3.jpg |

Smyth is considerably more expensive than The Loyalist, but not quite as expensive as other restaurants of that caliber.

Fruits at dinner primarily from Thailand ..

Bananas from the Philippines https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...db0d51aac.jpeg Homemade banana fritters https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7d9f2eda4.jpeg Thai pineapple and pomelo https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...850479a10.jpeg Thai rambutans and Australian white peaches - last of the season https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a73c37f3c.jpeg Lemongrass pandan cake https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3aae23259.jpeg Shared the delicious cake Baked by a friend , rather pretty cake , who is fund raising for an hospice |
Grilled pork loin with rosemary marinadeRoasted broccoli with parmesan, balsamic and lemon zest

Turkey taco night
including sautéed diced onions drizzled with red wine vinegar (thanks Cat-Loving Wrp Accounting Person in AR!!); sliced avocado; diced red onions; sliced baby bell peppers https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fe3a625a7.jpeg |
Jerk chicken maple smoked with my "signature" turmeric coconut rice. I'm quietly confident my signature rice could bring peace to the Middle East. I got to work on my jerk game though. The marinade was too mild. Rennovations are over so I'm loving being back on the coals. :)
