There are 3 kinds of summer squash:
1. Yellow Squash. There are 2 types: the crookneck and the slightly
plumper straightneck. Both are sunny yellow outside, pale and succulent
inside. About 2 - 4 pounds.
2. Pattypan. Flat, round, pale green squash with scalloped edges.
They can be small as a biscuit or big as a pie.
3. Zucchini. This isn't one squash but four, all green skinned and
white-fleshed.

To prepare for cooking:
Yellow squash and zucchini: Cut off ends and scrub well; peel only if
skins are old. If young and tender leave whole; otherwise cut in 1/2:
slices or halve and seed.
Pattypan: Wash in cool water, peel, seed, adn cut in 1/2" cubes.
