Roasted And Baked Butternut Squash

I cooked butternut squash for the first time. All I did was roast the squash, let it cool, scrapped it out into a mixing bowl where I put honey, salt, pepper, and a little butter. I then baked it in the oven for about 10 minutes. Easy and delicious (I hope).

We have turned the calendar to October and it’s the time for the great freaks of Halloween to make their statements. This funny meme shows Tim Curry transitioning from September to October. Let’s hope for a good month with more treats than tricks.

Canadian Day For Truth And Reconciliation #Canada #TruthandReconciliation

September 30, 2021 marks the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.The day honours the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.

I’m not Canadian but this time of truth and reconciliation are universal and every nation have their own issues with the treatment of indigenous people and the sadness of how they were oppressed and removed from their homes and land.
