I wonder whether this is the same person I'm thinking of (if so, I know for a fact that she enjoyed startling people by doing so).

Anyway, the rest of my comment was going to be that the squash peeling depends on whether I want it cubed, therefore peeled (more likely with butternut), or roasted and then mashed, therefore not peeled. Delicata, by the way, is never peeled, even when eaten as chunks or cubes.
