Photo of the Day: Oh, the Stresses on the TV Chef

I knew instinctively this couldn't be right. The TV chef, Paula Dean's son, for chrissakes, said to bake the butternut squash strips two hours at 475 degrees. I suggested you could melt steel under those circumstances.

What we have above is 475 degrees for about 40 minutes. Crisp, toasted and black. Dead butternut squash fries. Damn. I was so looking forward to this.
