Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 425F. Cut the acorn squash into roughly 6 to 8 wedges. Peel the shallot and leave in large chunks. Add both to a roasting pan and toss with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast until the squash is browning and tender; 45 to 55 minutes.Once the squash is done, let cool enough to handle, remove the seeds/peel then place in a blender with the beans, 1 cups vegetable broth, and sumac. Puree until smooth, adding cup of vegetable broth at a time until the soup is a good consistency. Transfer to a pot and heat until warm. Taste and add more salt as needed (see note).Also while the squash is cooking, combine the tahini, parsley, thyme, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt in a blender (I like my Blendtec Twister jar for this). Puree until well combined and smooth.Divide the soup into 2 bowls and top with a large swirl of the parsley sauce, extra sprinkle of parsley, and a sprinkle of ground sumac.

Food Joke

A father walks into a restaurant with his young son. He gives the young boy three nickels to play with to keep him occupied. Suddenly, the boy starts choking, going blue in the face. The father realizes the boy has swallowed the nickels and starts slapping him on the back. The boy coughs up two of the nickels, but keeps choking. Looking at his son, the father is panicking, shouting for help. A well dressed, attractive, and serious looking woman, in a blue business suit is sitting at a coffee bar reading a newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down, neatly folds the newspaper and places it on the counter, gets up from her seat and makes her way, unhurried, across the restaurant. Reaching the boy, the woman carefully drops his pants; takes hold of the boy's' testicles and starts to squeeze and twist, gently at first and then ever so firmly. After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the last nickel, which the woman deftly catches in her free hand. Releasing the boy's testicles, the woman hands the nickel to the father and walks back to her seat at the coffee bar without saying a word. As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no ill effects, the father rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her saying, "I've never seen anybody do anything like that before, it was fantastic. Are you a doctor?" "No," the woman replied. "I'm with the IRS."
