Success! Great fixed like this!

This is a newly invented recipe which is not a recipe at all.  One can see everything that is about to be baked inside a spaghetti squash.  (They are so hard to cut in half, but I did it without cutting off a finger.)  After baking, I will let you know how this works.  I usually do it like everyone else with butter, salt, and pepper.  I used those items with the last of the tomatoes, onions, and herbs.


Next is butternut squash. Check back every once in awhile; I feel like cooking today and I have some new products I bought on a shopping spree with Beth last evening; two stores, one hour, many bags of goodies.

Next, I bought two snacks for Andy and/ or for parties.  UTZ toasted sesame pretzels sounded good, although i am not a fan of pretzels.  It's the sesame that brings me in.  I have used pretzel crisps for dips and cheese trays before with good hold-up success.  They don't get limp and stale if they sit out for a few hours during a party.

Another new snack from World Market: Pumpkin Crunch...the bag holds many delights including chocolate, nuts, caramel popcorn and something orange that tastes and looks like pumpkin.

I have to be sad about this: it's the last of the peaches from the outdoor market until next summer.  We always buy from the same person and his peaches are so delicious.  Sigh.

The last gasp:
