Missing ingredient Where is the sugar in the list of ingredients?
You should have mentioned to cut the squash in rounds, so it will come out like the picture.

It says to cut the squash in slices and acorn squash is round! Duh!

The sugar is 'to taste' depending on how sweet you like your squash.

In the directions it says to sprinkle sugar on the squash, but there is no sugar in the list of ingredients. Also, there is no place where it says that the squash should be cut in circular strips, even though the picture shows that.
