OPO SQUASH IN GARDEN TODAY

This squash is called an OPO squash by the Vietnamese.
It is a very mild, delicate squash that works beautifully in soups, and is delicious raw even.
It is in the garden growing in a pot placed next to the fence and has
supplied us with many squash.
Note; mildew is starting at the bottom, but otherwise it is still bearing and quite healthy.
It can be made without meat, but here is a recipe using shrimp.
