Thank you and happy Turkey Day to everyone! I grew some purple Hopi corn this year like that in the picture. I didn't grow pumpkins but harvested some magnificent squash with pink skin and orange meat. Yesterday I processed one of them and made four bags of grated raw squash for bread/cake, two containers of cooked squash for soup or casseroles, and big chunks of squash I don't know what to do with yet. I also made a skillet full of calabacitas, a Hispanic dish of squash, onion, peppers, garlic, oregano and cumin. I'll bring it to dinner along with condiments of cheese, cilantro and chile on the side!

This is how I buy my fried onions.





They also come in garlic-pepper flavor. And this company makes a similar product with jalape?o peppers, which I sprinkle on things to give them a slightly spicy crunch. They also make a dill-pickle version, which I bought but did not love. Could be good on a burger, though!

Good question! Pewter once contained lead but modern pewter is tin with other metals added to strengthen it. So it's an alloy.

Well done you, Chuck, for donating all that food.


On a different note, isn't tin and pewter the same metal?
