Electric knife arrived

It's been on backorder for a couple of months, but my electric knife arrived today. Feels weird, since I'm eating less and less meat, but I didn't buy it for that. I bought it to cut open squashes before cooking them-- I just don't have the strength for it. So tonight, is Maple Orzo Squash for Betty, Carolyn and me.

You don't need an oven to cook a squash-- cook it like a baked potato in the microwave. Prick the squash so the steam can escape, and after it's cooked (fork goes in easily) you can cut it open and scrape it. But I want to see if the taste and texure is really different in the oven, and I want the burned edges look and taste. So, for the oven, have to cut it in half and seed it before it gets cooked.
