Hi Dave,


 DD> The bright orange Halloween pumpkins certainly are more attractive
 DD> than the pie pumpkins.

 RH> Yes, especially paired with a couple of pots of crysanthemums on porch
 RH> steps. (G)

 DD> Only two things wrong with that. I'm not a fan of mums. And my house
 DD> is on a slab - so, no steps.  Bv)=

Mini mums were part of my wedding bouquet, along with dried pods and
other fall greenery. We always buy the pots of small flowers, don't want
to overpower anything else. And, yes, we have several steps going up to
the front door. Steve had to add an extra rail before he could get the
VA loan but it's a help as we've gotten older. (G)

 DD>       Title: Savoury Stuffed Squash

 RH> It does look good. I'm doing some Moroccan chicken tomorrow for supper,
 RH> will double the recipe and put some in the freezer.

 DD> I've several "Moroccan" recipes for buzzard. Mostly involving a
 DD> tsagine.

 RH> I made a double batch, too much for our tagine. Had supper, put 3 boxes
 RH> (just shy of a quart,each) in the freezer and a bit left over for a
 RH> quick supper tonight. Freezer ones will taste good on a cold, winter
 RH> night.

 DD> This recipe seems mis-titled as there is no tagine actually involved.
 DD> But, it does look good - as with most of Ms. DiGregorio's output.

 RH> Probably could be done in a tagine.

 DD>       Title: Slow Cooker Chicken Tagine w/Butternut Squash
 DD>  Categories: Poultry, Squash, Fruits, Chilies, Vegetables
 DD>       Yield: 5 servings

 RH> This does look good, slow cooker is a good sub for a tagine, given the
 RH> amount of ingredients. Maybe add some kalamata olives too?

 DD> Don't see why not. Ripe olives are usually always good.

The kalamata olives have a different taste than black olives. I found
out about them in the late 90s, here on the echo. Bought a jar to see if
we liked them, they were a keeper. Steve isn't fond of black olives so
we usually just have kalamatas and green olives on hand.
