Strikes my fancy

I told the roomie that I was disappointed I had not gotten spaghetti squash with my farm share...so she bought me one. I have NEVER seen one this big! So what does one do with a squash the size of a rugby ball? SHARE! No, here is one of the things I made: 1 spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded 2 Tbl olive oil 1 onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 ½ cups chopped tomatoes ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese 2 Tbl chopped fresh basil Place spaghetti squash cut sides down on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven, or until a sharp knife can be inserted with only a little resistance. Remove squash from oven, and set aside to cool enough to be easily handled. Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saunte onion in oil until tender. Add garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, and cook only until tomatoes are warm. Use a large spoon to scoop the stringy pulp from the squash, and place in a medium bowl. Toss with the saut...

Some folks have had the bright idea to convert an old elevated train track into a garden/walkway (see more here ). I thought it was interesting. The roomie loved it...

I saw this the other day while walking to Staples. Not sure who usually has and empty truck bed to plant, but might be easier to find than a roof or actual garden space. I saw tomatoes and peppers...not sure if there was more.

For some today is a day to celebrate because it is the start of college football. Not for me, I have no team loyalty (thank you XU!). For me today is a day to celebrate because it's J-nette's b-day! Twenty some years ago today she became the final female in our house! While J was often the sneaky one in our house - she has become one of the most thoughtful and caring women I know. It has been a pleasure watching her grow up - watching her find what God has created her to be. I am constantly challenged by compassion for others. May this year be filled with new challenges and greater blessings. Love you bill!
