If you want to delight some of your family or friends, present them with a squash or similar vegetable bearing their names growing in the skin. The secret is to scratch the name lightly with any sharp-pointed instrument on the skin of the squash or other vegetable when it is first forming. The scar firms and grows as the squash grows and the name will be encrusted in large letters when it is fully grown. This is a real kid pleaser!!!!
