I got a call Monday from friend /neighbor who are going to be home after all so having dinner. It's a challenge only being able to eat soft things. I'm actually cooking up a Cushaw & making Cushaw pie. I had one a few years ago & liked it better than pumpkin. The Cushaw squash is huge so I can make many pies to share. Also make a delicious cranberry/mellow salad that uses ginger ale for the liquid & the jellied cranberry sauce dissolved in raspberry jello. Yummy. Get to make my favorites this time of year that I'm too lazy to make the rest of the year.

We had our church thanksgiving dinner last Sunday after church. Several of us went to get one of our members who is now in the extended care at the hospital (not able to live alone any longer). My friend & I go to visit her after church every Sunday & always get a chuckle about her talking about the food there....green beans 2 times a day....ugh? I was fixing her plate for her at out church dinner & I made sure NOT to put any green beans on her plate.... I know that she definitely didn't miss them. We got a good laugh about NO GREEN BEANS. They aren't my favorite either unless really seasoned up to be really flavorful
