Charlie and FG, I don't know if your rain dance is working or not, but the day after ya'll danced, my blackeyed peas bloomed out. Are you sure you didn't get the rain dance confused with the bloomin' dance? Me? I always snap my fingers to keep elephants away. Works pretty good, doesn't it?

I saw a good description of you on Leno last night, time for headlines.

There was an add in the paper for a "Hydration Technician"

Under the job description it said: Water lawns

Here's a new quiz

What do you call this?

Up here we call it winter squash. They didn't get very big this year, too wet and cold.
They are hard shelled and store for months.
My wife uses them in anything that calls for pumpkin.
They/she makes delicious pies.
We also just split them in half, lay cut side down in a glass bowl with water in it and cook/steam them in the microwave about 15 minutes till tender. Then scoop them out into a bowl, put a chunk of butter on top and some brown sugar and reheat for a few seconds. Really good substitute for potatoes and lots of fiber.

Real name begins with "B" and ends in "nut"

After a few of those Shiner Bock beers I may have slipped in a couple of unauthorized dance steps, but Rain Dances are free form at best. I will, however, take credit for the Blackeyed Peas bloomin' and add that to my list of accomplishments.

I know FG would never deviate from her normal dance routine or use unauthorize steps or moves. But I do know that since the dancin' on Saturday the prospect for rain has increased. Ya'll are welcome.

You two dancin last Saturday may have given us an early winter up here.
I mowed wearing a flannel shirt day before yesterday and added a jacket before dark.
Heat pump is on.
Low 40's here today might get to 70.

Ron, are you cookin' big Brazil nuts?:laughing:

I've grown butternut squash many times and find it more trouble than it's worth to grow, store, and cook. We have so much summer squash that we never get around to eating the butternut squash. I do like it baked, but it's not high on our favorites list. I grew several spaghetti squash this year, but I'm the only one who eats them. They are too bland for my wife and grandson. They like the heavy starch in regular pasta.

Butternut Squash ! Make them several times a year, cut in half, remove seeds put butter and brown sugar on the cut side and bake 350 until tender. Great side when making pork or turkey.

That's a climate difference. Up here summer squash must be eaten right away. Winter squash is very popular as it will store in the garage all winter long. It has a rather sweet taste all on it's own.
Good food for diabetics, which we are not.
