Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 425F. Whip the butter with the harissa paste and a pinch of salt (as needed). Quarter the acorn squash, remove the seeds, and rub the exposed squash with the harissa butter. Place in a roasting pan. Cut the onion into 1 pieces and place in the roasting pan as well. Bake the squash until tender; 40 minutes or so (depending on the size). Squash should be easily pierced when done. While the squash is roasting, combine the bulgur with 1 cup of water and a pinch of salt in a pot with lid. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 8 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes. To prepare the yogurt, combine the yogurt with the herbs, lemon juice, and salt.

Food Joke

The car crash Rabbi Bloom and Father Michael get into a car accident and it`s a bad one. Both cars are crushed but amazingly neither of the clerics is hurt. After they crawl out of their cars, Rabbi Bloom sees the priest`s collar and says, "Just look at our cars - there`s nothing left, but we`re unhurt. You`re a priest and I`m a rabbi so it must be a sign from God. He must have meant that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace the rest of our days." Father Michael replies, "I agree with you completely. This truly must be a sign from God." Rabbi Bloom then says, "Look - here`s another miracle. Although my car is wrecked, this bottle of wine didn`t break. God must want us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune." He hands the bottle to the priest. Father Michael takes a few big swigs and passes the bottle back to Rabbi Bloom who puts the cork back in and hands it back to the priest. Father Michael asks, "Aren`t you having any wine?" "No. I think I`ll just wait for the police," says Rabbi Bloom.
