    What a great picture of stuffed squash. I love squash. I always bake them with brown sugar (if I have it), butter (or I Can't Believe It's Not Butter), salt, and pepper. But you have me inspired now to try your stuffing mix.


    The picture of a cup of coffee and Chinese Chews - yum! That is right up my alley!


    I joined Homestead a while ago but have not started my blog yet so I am listed as anonymous. I have to get up the skill of writing and making pictures like the rest of you.


    Thank you very much.
