Veggie Quandary

Spaghetti squash is a tasty and fun fall vegetable. However, I've learned a very important lesson when it comes to ordering squash: do not, by any means, order a spaghetti squash online, because Fresh Direct might decide to burden you with a nine-dollar, 6 lb. mother lode of a squash that you will not discover until the delivery man has run far, far away.

What, pray tell, might a single girl in New York do with a squash so ridiculously gargantuan that it takes up all available kitchen counter space?

Boiling it is simply out of the question (what could I boil it in?). Ditto for the microwave. Baking after hacking the thing into fragments is a possibility. However, given the season, I think perhaps the best option will be to carve it up like a pumpkin.
