Squash Soup

Prep the squash (~3lb) - cut in half, scrape out seeds and bake for an hour at 350 flat side down on a greased cookie sheet till it is soft and can be pierced with a fork easily.
Let cool, scrape out flesh and you can put that in the fridge till you want to make your soup.

Soup:
Sautee two medium/large leeks with an inch of ginger (finely chopped) in butter.
add four cups of chicken stock and the squash and simmer for 20 minutes breaking up the squash.
Puree in a blender. Add salt and pepper to taste and dilute with ~2 cups chicken stock to right consistency. Heat up and the server.
Be sure to puree really well.

Hey Carly, its Ashlay! I forgot my password and so I had to post this anonymously as I am on a very slow computer and I can't get into my hotmail account to get an e-mail to you. ahah..ok so I was wondering, I am working as a peer helper now in the career planning and research department and I have to help people with questions about careers for after school. I have an appointment next week for a girl who is interested in doing cancer research and I don't really know what to tell her...I thought maybe you might have some insight to share with me because you went through the whole process yourself...if you are busy don't worry about it. BUt if you have some spare time I was wondering if applying for NSERC was the best way and did you do it just through the internet? and also, how did you find a professor that was doing research in your field? I know these may sound really basic but I have no idea where to start. Thanks a lot, and if you do end up responding could you send me an answer at huitemaa@uoguelph.ca! thanks a lot
