This recipe is one of my favorites of the fall and winter season. You can use almost anything to stuff it with; get creative. I am sharing my own recipe, which has American Italian flavor notes with ingredients from around the globe.
Serves 4
2 acorn squash, bisected and de seeded
1 small butternut squash OR acorn squash, peeled and cut into ½ inch cubes
1 cup of cooked quinoa, per package instructions (or other grain or rice of your choice)
1 cup of rye berries (or another grain of your choosing)
½ C. grated parmesan cheese (I used vegan cheese here)
2 celery stalks, diced
1 large Spanish onion, diced
1 pint of cherry tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic
1 bunch of basil leaves, torn
1 tsp sage divided in halves, dried
1 tsp thyme divided in halves, dried
½ cup of sherry or other dry, high proof alcohol (optional)
Salt and Pepper
Preheat oven to 350 F
To change it up you could remove Italian spices and add cranberries, walnuts, sauteed onion, fennel (spice) and fontina cheese; you could even use some low-fat chicken sausage for extra protein; Use what you have in your fridge and get frugal!
This recipe is somewhat of an experiment; Typically when making a true stuffing there is always cream, eggs and some type of fatty pork product mixed together with seasoned crusty bread, onion and celery for good measure. How do we get so many heavy rich flavors without using heavy rich ingredients? Try this recipe out.
Serves 4
For "custard"
1 small butternut squash cut into bite sized cubes (any kind of squash or pumpkin will do)
¼ tsp. each of thyme, ground fennel seed, salt and pepper, sage, rosemary or marjoram
½ C of soy or almond milk
¼ C or more of maple syrup
¼ C of sherry
3 eggs
Oil for greasing
Preheat oven to 350. Toss the butternut squash with oil and the spice mixture. Roast until they are soft. Allow to cool slightly. Reserve half the squash for a later. Put half the squash in a food processor, be careful of splashing. On medium speed slowly add the liquid ingredients and then eggs. Blend until silky and smooth. If it comes out as a paste slowly add more milk product until it resembles a thin milkshake. Set aside in a large bowl in the refrigerator.
Stuffing Mix:
2 Celery ribs, cut into bite sized cubes
1 large sweet onion, peeled and cut into bite sized cubes
4 cloves of garlic smashed and sliced
1 large loaf of whole grain bread, or bread of your choice, cut into half inch cubes
Fresh sage, rosemary, marjoram
¼ cup of raisins
¼ cup of real cranberries
¼ cup of apricots, cut into small chunks
1 C of toasted walnuts
Reserved roasted squash
Salt and Pepper
1.If the bread is fresh you may want to toast it slightly or once it is cut put it in the freezer for a half an hour to suck out the moisture. It is better to use stale bread.
2.Saute onion, celery and garlic until translucent. Toss everything in the bowl with the custard until covered. Allow custard to sit for at least 2 hours, or over night.
3.Put mixture into a lightly greased casserole dish & cover and bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until the stuffing has an internal temperature of 165. Serve.
4.Conversely if you like a crunchier stuffing you may spread it on a sheet pan and cook for 20 minutes or less at 350.
This recipe is made without refined sugars or gluten.
First of all this isn't quite Grandmas recipe. No butter, no flour and this time no walnuts (just in case). But we've added maple syrup, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and our secret weapon:toasted oats. With a sweet nuttiness they'll make you forget about all that butter and brown sugar. With the addition of eggs and a bit more maple syrup we have a dessert on our hands.
I should note that though oats are gluten free, they are often harvested on shared equipment that process wheat products. Oats processed on dedicated equipment are 100% gluten free.
This recipe serves 4, but I'd multiply it by 1.5 for late night guilt free snacking.
4 large sweet potatoes, washed and cut into large cubes (don't peel them, that's the good stuff!)
½ cup of real maple syrup, divided in half.
1 cup of oats, gently toasted in a pan (stir gently until you a sweet nutty aroma unlocks from the grain)
¼ cup of canola or other healthy oil.
¼ cup of rice flour
1/8th tsp. ground cloves
¼ tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. nutmeg
Salt and Pepper
1. Steam the sweet potatoes until for tender OR boil them gently (though you loose more nutrients this way). In a standing mixer on medium stir them until they are nearly smooth. Add half the maple syrup, spices and salt and pepper until they taste yummy. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Lightly oil a baking dish of your choosing, pour sweet potatoes into bowl. If baking now keep them out & if baking later cover and place in refrigerator.
3. In a separate bowl take the rest of the ingredients and mix together. If it's too dry add a bit more maple syrup and oil. Don't add too much as it may break and be unpleasant.
4. Pour mixture over the top of the sweet potatoes and spread out with a wooden spoon.
5. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until done and the top is crispy and lightly browned. Eat!

1 cup Yellow Mustard
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Whisk all of the ingredients together
3 pounds mixed apples (6-8 apples)
2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground cloves
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Prepare the filling: Peel, halve and core the apples. Cut each half into 6 wedges and toss with the sugar and lemon juice in a bowl. Sprinkle with the flour, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg and toss until the juices incorporate. Leave for 10 minutes, or while making the dough.

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 pound cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Up to ½ cup ice water
Make the dough:
Combine flour, sugar, and salt. Using pastry cutter or fingers, add cubed butter and work into flour quickly until it resembles coarse meal. Slowly add ice water just until the dough comes together, adding more flour if needed. Divide dough in half. Roll one half of dough into a 12 inch round and ease in baking shell.; Add the filling.
Roll second dough into a 12 inch round and lay over the filling and press the 2 crusts together around the edges. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp with your fingers.

It was a dark and stormy night… well, maybe not stormy, but always dark, dark, DARK! If Musical Theatre Southwest (MTS) received a grant of $5000 or more, we would install lighting and signage on the north side of our building. MTS is located next to the fairgrounds where street lighting is minimal. Our building has no lights or identifying signs on the side on which the main parking and street access are located. This makes finding our theater difficult and gives rise to a dark and creepy trek for our patrons and actors to and from their cars.
This is important to us because the safety and comfort of our actors and patrons is paramount in our minds at all times. Each show includes six to eight weeks of evening rehearsals, then runs four weekends. People are asked to come and go in the dark. Our shows often include child actors or audience members. The area is quiet at night. The building is not easy to find. Our Community Service Night accommodates many physically and mentally challenged people. We need our actors and patrons to always be safe and free from fear when coming to MTS.

One of the most basic policy decisions an agency must make involves whether to provide door-to-door, or only curb-to-curb service.

"Mt. Comfort traffic, Lockheed 7265C departing runway 25." After
almost two years of hard work, the American Military Heritage
Foundation has managed to get back its PV-2 Harpoon back into the
ANN had previously reported the status of the
Harpoon as it was being readied for flight. Several
small issues have delayed the first flight,
including paperwork issues, minor mechanical challenges, and
crew scheduling issues. After two false starts on Friday, the
Harpoon left the runway at the Mount Comfort Airport on Saturday at
1307 CDT and climbed for the sky.
As the roar of the engines began to fade into the distance, and
"Hot Stuff" took to the skies, there was only one thing for Janet
Cross to say. "WOOOOOO HOOOOOO!"
This "Return to Flight" has been the result of a lot of
sacrifice and hard work by AMHF members. Attempts Friday were
aborted because of a leaking fuel gasket, but Saturday morning
repairs were made to clear the aircraft for flight.
Now the crews have a bit of training to do and a lot of
preparation work as they get ready for their trip to Oshkosh and
the aircraft's return to the airshow circuit.The crew for this
flight was Steve Hilligoss, Crew Chief, Steve Rider, PIC, and
Martin Fall, SIC.
As ANN covers Oshkosh, watch for an update on this aircraft and
others. Warbirds are literally flying museums, sharing our history
with the public.

If you blinked, chances are you missed out seeing the Pawtucket Red Sox in the 2011 Governors' Cup playoffs. The three-game sweep administered by Lehigh Valley was that fleeting.
In a week's time the PawSox went from mighty division champs to postseason wallflowers. One Saturday night, they're basking in the glow of winning the I.L. North. The next Saturday sees the clubhouse resemble that of a funeral parlor, with players quietly exchanging farewell handshakes and hugs while gathering up their personal belongings for the trip back home.
PAWTUCKET — With the season now over for the Pawtucket Red Sox, several players and coaches now set their sights on the winter ball addresses they'll hold from October through New Year's.
After spending a few weeks catching up on rest and letting the body recover from the grind of a long season, many of the PawSox' players will depart for warmer climates, utilizing the opportunity to further augment one's skills or put extra cash in one's pocket.

WOONSOCKET – Chad Giguere, a senior at Woonsocket High School, was only seven when the two towers fell at the World Trade Center in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001, and he doesn't remember much about what he was doing at the time.

It was only when he watched a video of those events later in school that Giguere said he began to understand what a terrible event it had been for the nation.

Are You Woman Enough to Be the Boss?
Finally, you can give up the whole "no emotions" thing at work. Sharon Hadary and Laura Henderson, co-authors of How Women Lead: The 8 Essential Strategies Successful Women Know, explain why women's leadership styles are the style of the future. Get ready for a serious confidence-boost.
By Ava Feuer
You're an expert multitasker
You have to be dressed and out the door in 15 minutes, and your husband's convinced you somehow know where he left his keys. Your daughter decides she needs help with her homework the moment your mother calls. Your boss left an urgent message, but you're at your son's soccer game. As a mom, daughter, wife, and professional, you're constantly forced to deal with what feels like a million things at once. It's not fun while it's happening, but it has taught you to manage your time more effectively, stay composed in crisis, and deal well with the unexpected. Those skills naturally follow you into your professional life, so embrace your ability to keep calm and carry on.

Today's topic was almost enough to derail my efforts on the second day of the challenge! You see, I am not a fruit person. I much prefer vegetables and I am more of a savory person then a sweet one. If I do eat a fruit, it has to be something relatively exotic for me to enjoy it. I'm not sure if it is the taste of things like mangoes, star fruit, and dragon fruit that I like or that it is not run of the mill. I may need to examine this further. Anyways, here are some mangoes, taken at my local supermarket. Yes, we have grocery stores here in The Netherlands.

What fruit seems to be popular?
What kind of fruit seems popular in the Netherlands?
Your photo is of some pretty exotic SE Asian fruit. You can find these in Atlanta, too, but mostly in high end stores like Whole Foods, and perhaps in small quantities in some of the other more mainstream grocery stores.
I doubt these are particularly popular in general. Here it's pretty much just apples, orananges and bananas.
Maybe it's different in the Netherlands, though. Like, maybe still having a close connection to its former colonies in Indonesia mean that Dutch people have a taste for star fruit? Or maybe there's a large immigrant population of SE Asians?

Matt Damon Is Real
An excerpt from our latest cover story, in which the actor sits around for eleven hours over the course of two days, drinking beer and telling stories
2009 Profile: MATT DAMON: THE CELEBRITY SHALL SAVE YOU
Byon July 8, 2013
Published in the August 2013 issue
et's face it, the guy is ridiculous.
He's ridiculously handsome. He's ridiculously accomplished. He's ridiculously smart. He's ridiculously kind to those in need of his kindness. He's ridiculously funny. He's ridiculously magnetic, with a ridiculously white movie-star smile and a ridiculously resonant voice-talent voice. Despite his ridiculous sense of ease and casual aplomb, he cannot go anywhere without making an entrance for the simple reason that people who feel ridiculous staring at him feel even more ridiculous not staring at him. All he has to do is smile and open his mouth and he switches on an inner light that turns every head, even Matt Damon's.
Now, just to be clear, Matt Damon is also ridiculous. Indeed, Damon is so ridiculous so ridiculously handsome, accomplished, smart, funny, etc. that he has been holding forth on the subject of German Holocaust awareness while drinking beer and eating steak on the patio of a hotel restaurant in Germany without sounding ridiculous himself. Damon does this a lot. He holds forth. He drinks beer. He holds forth while drinking beer, often with members of the crew of the movie he happens to be making, which in this case is The Monuments Men, the story of the American soldiers charged with recovering the vast stashes of priceless art stolen by the Nazis. Damon's the most social of movie stars, the most easily conversant, and so he holds forth lightly, his knowledge of history just as much a social lubricant as the beer he keeps ordering for the table. He's sitting with a young actor, a military consultant, a script supervisor, and me, and with a ridiculous lack of anything resembling effort he keeps all eyes trained upon him until
"Ah, he's back!"
It's Clooney. It's the boss. It's the guy who's directing The Monuments Men as well as starring in it, and it's the guy whose unabashed incandescence makes Damon's feel suddenly like the light from a sustainable bulb. Did I say Clooney's ridiculous? Clooney's ridiculous. He's back from a weekend in Berlin, nearly three hours away, and he looks...
