If you don't mind baking a squash and adding a little jelly, you have the easiest,creamiest sweet side dish that goes with almost anything.  I have been in love with kabocha since I came across it.

I worked on the literary extra curricular activities, the Year Book and the newspaper where I had my own column and wrote many other articles.  Gee, I wrote a play in third grade and the teacher wanted it presented.  (Note th...
