My sister in law when she was a young bride made a pumpkin pie for our Thanksgiving. Only problem was she used squash instead of pumpkin filling. She didn't tell everybody until afterwards. Didn't fool me because I hate pumpkin anything. Or squash anything. She's a much better cook these days. Makes a mean sausage bread. Hint, hint.

Hmm...pumpkin is a type of squash. The only flavor in pumpkin pie is the spices used, I always thought.

I’ve forced myself to like squash as a sub for potatoes. I’m on & off a low carb diet of no bread, rice, sugar, potatoes, etc, which I call the Al Sharpton Diet (”White is not right!!!”)

But not today, on Thanksgiving. Sides include `smashed taters’, cornbread dressing, giblet gravy & whole cranberry sauce.

Much to be thankful for. Among the blessings are no nutty relatives with weird diet notions, but abundant agreement around the table as to Whom to thank for all that’s good.
