THE PURCHASE OF AN 8" TORTEEXPIRES 10/31/15

$3.00 OFF

• 1 lb. peeled squash = 1 cup cooked, and 1 lb. squash = 2 to 3 servings

• Squash is grouped into summer squash or winter squash, depending on whether they are harvested as immature fruit (summer squash) or mature fruit (winter squash).

• All squash seeds are edible and delicious to eat. Prepare them as you would your pumpkin seeds. Try additional seasonings on your squash or pumpkin seeds. Cajun seasoning, soy sauce and garlic salt are some of the many possibilities.

• The yellowest spaghetti squash will be the ripest. Spaghetti squash that are more white are not very ripe. Larger spaghetti squash are more flavorful than smaller ones.

• One 4oz. serving of squash provides 20% or more of your recommended daily value of magnesium, potassium, and vitamins A, C and E (vitamin E is found in the seeds).SQ

SUGGESTED MENU

Harvest Salad with Field Greens

Herb Roasted Turkey Breast

Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash

Sauteed Brussels Sprouts

Pumpkin Crème Brulée

APPLE STUFFED ACORN SQUASH 6 servings (serving size 1/2 squash)

• 3 acorn squash, halved, seeded• 2 tablespoons butter• 1 cup onions, chopped• 3 cups apples, peeled, chopped• 1/2 cup dried cranberries• 2 tablespoons brown sugar• 1 teaspoon cinnamon• 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar• 2 tablespoons real maple syrup• 1/3 cup toasted walnuts

Preheat oven to 350°. Place the squash onto a baking sheet cut side down. Fill the baking sheet with 1/2 inch of water. Bake the squash for 40 minutes. Drain off any remaining water. While the squash is baking, melt the butter in a large skillet. Cook the onion and apple in the butter until the onion has softened. Scrape mixture into a bowl to cool until the squash has finished baking. Once the squash is done, stir remaining ingredients into the apple mixture. Turn the squash cut side up on the baking sheet and fill with apple mixture. Return squash to the oven; bake for 15 minutes.

EDWARD’S EXTRA!Any type of mashed squash can be used in the place of canned pumpkin in soups, pies, cookies or breads.

Because the rind makes most squash difficult to peel, it’s easier to cook the unpeeled squash, and then scoop out the cooked flesh.

EDWARD’S EXTRA!Toasting walnuts is easy! Take your walnuts and place them on a baking sheet. Place the walnuts in the oven and bake them at 350° for 5 to 10 minutes. Make sure you keep an eye on them until they are done so that they don’t burn. This procedure works well with pine nuts, almonds and almost any nut out there!

THE UPS STORE 143 Cadycentre(248) 344-1980www2.theupsstorelocal.com/2021/

The UPS Store recently received a call from a lady who was frantic. She explained she was the executor of an estate, and part of her duties were to distribute a 32 piece set of bone china to an heir in California, and a very large (55x4x36) wood framed piece of art to an heir in Florida. She told the UPS clerk that the US Post office told her it needed to be packed before it could be shipped, and she did not have the materials or the expertise to do that. She next went to a big box office store that rhymes with “Maples” and they told her they have packing service. When the store that rhymes with “Maples” saw the size and complexity of the packing job, they admitted it was beyond their scope and recommended they call the UPS Store. She was much relieved when they quickly gave her an estimate. When she brought her items to the store they explained how they were going to pack her items, showing her the materials they would use, and how they would provide safety in transit she was expecting. She was much relieved she found the UPS Store and sent them a “thank you” note after the items arrived safely at their destinations.

A regular shipping customer asked if UPS provided printing services. The UPS clerk told her they did, and they asked to describe the project she was inquiring about. She told them she went to the store whose name used to rhyme with “Stinkos” and had an 80 page 30 sets of a presentation printed on 3 hole paper. The store printed the job with the holes on the right side of the page; she needed the holes on the left side. The store whose name used to rhyme with “Stinkos” told her the re-do would not be completed for 2 days. She needed it in 1 day for a seminar she was holding. The UPS Store completed the job 2 hours earlier than our estimated time, and the customer was pleased, not only with their prompt service, but the fact that we got the holes on the left side, and they were 15% cheaper than the store whose name rhymed with “Stinkos”.
