    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have about 10 butternut squash (es?) harvested from my garden sitting on a shelf and that is fine with me because I have a recipe that for me can be a meal:

Bake squash wrapped in foil until tender at 350 degrees. Depending on the size of the squash this can take up to an hour. I usually conserve energy by baking something else at the same time.
Take the squash out, remove and save foil, and cut it in half, and remove the seeds and stringy stuff around the seed area. Sprinkle with salt.

Score with knife every half inch and then cross score, almost down to the skin. Smoosh a bunch of margarine on the surface.
Put two or three squares of American cheese to cover the surface. Top with around half inch of store bought Italian bread crumbs. Cover lightly with the foil and bake another 20 minutes.
