When heroes are hit by a bullet in the movies they often just get back up, grimace and carry on. But in real life a single gunshot wound even to a limb is enough to kill. In a video posted online, a team of scientists has demonstrated what happens to the human body when a bullet penetrates the skin.
Roast butternut squash at a high temperature. After trying a few different oven temperatures, weâve settled on 425 degrees F. The squash becomes tender and the edges get a chance to brown a little. If youâre roasting something else, say chicken, at the same time you do have some leeway.
Add water to a depth of 1 inch, and bake at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes or until tender-when you can pierce the squash easily with a small knife. (You can also microwave the squash at high 10 to 15 minutes.) Let the squash cool, then scoop the pulp out with a spoon, and mash the pulp with a potato masher. One pound uncooked butternut squash will yield about 1 cup mashed.
