Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well the leaves live to see another day. I got side tracked. I was able to grocery shop and clean the cars. Then I decided to clean out the dryer vent. I noticed some of the tubing had a few tears in it so I replaced it all.
Great pictures @Mopar Tim that is on my list of places to visit one day.
 
We finished clearing the downstairs storage area looks better than ever. Still have a few littles to do but we'll have all winter. No leaves rained all day and will continue through tomorrow. Made it to the store and picked a bottle of Yellowstone. Mike kept showing it so saw it and tried it good stuff!! I also picked up a set of round and square large ice cube trays. I figured if we're going to be whiskey drinkers, we should do it right. Off to a friend's birthday party...cheers!!
 
Looks like my son in law is not taking to the waves on the ship he's on. Poor guy I feel sorry for him and he is a great kid but I will give him **** when he gets home. :thumbsup:

Looks awesome, how do you prepare it?

Split the squash... scoop the seeds and put the halves "face down" in a baking dish with about 1/2" to 1" of water in it. Bake at 350° F until the skin is soft.

Meanwhile...

Finely dice veggies... onion, garlic, peppers mushrooms in this case.
Sauté the garlic and onion in olive oil.
Add peppers and cook until soft. I added about a tablespoon of butter and season to taste. Once the veggies are done, set them aside in a bowl.

Cook ground hamburger or pork (seasoned to taste) until medium- rare. Add the veggie mix back into the pan

Squash should be about done at this point

Take the squash out. Remove from the baking dish and dump any remaining water.

Use a fork or spoon to mash the squash without damaging the skin. You want the skin as a bowl. Push it to the sides in the skin forming a pocket

Put the squash back into the baking dish

Scoop in the meat and veggie mix... grate some cheese over the top and put back into the oven until the cheese melts

I sprinkle a little smoked paprika on top.

Kinda cool when you have people over as you can do a bunch at a time... or if just one, it's real simple leftover the next day.
 
They will never miss one or two!
I thought about… a lot. Stopped counting at 20. And stopped taking pics.

Funny thing is, just years ago, seeing a single turkey in this area was as rare as seeing a T-Rex walking around. They just didn’t exist. Now since planting lavender, they’re in here every day like that.
 
Got the new bumper on my oldest grandkids truck and all his fancy lights working. He stayed for dinner and cleaned up all the leftovers.:thumbsup:
 
Evening fellers and fellet, cooled off here and cool all week. Chris, that squish dish looks good.
