If you're telling me I spelled potatoes wrong it would behoove you to make sure that's a valid complaint first, otherwise you will look like a dumbass.

Btatas, potatas, patatas, potatoes, depends where you're from.

This one is good if you don't want stuffing in it: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/squash-casserole-10000001823308/

The stuffed zucchini is the good from-the-farm food:

BAKED STUFFED ZUCCHINI

3 medium sized zucchini
1 c. crumbled saltine crackers
¹⁄₂ c. grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp. minced onion
¹⁄₂ tsp. salt
¹⁄₈ tsp. pepper
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tbsp. butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook zucchini in boiling water to cover in large pot, for 5 minutes. Drain; halve lengthwise. Scoop out pulp with spoon - leaving shell. Coarsely chop pulp. Combine with cracker crumbs, ¹⁄₄ cup cheese, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, and egg in medium sized bowl. Spoon crumb mixture into shell, mounding in center. Dot with butter; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Place in baking dish. Bake 30 minutes until lightly browned.

I recall Sally making Duchess potatoes one holiday. I thought those must have been fantastic!

many of us will be busy today getting prepped for the big feast.

then there's poor Duchess, who told me she has to slave away in a hot kitchen and wash the celery! oh the unfairness of it all! the sheer brutality!

Shameful new-found knowledge: You can use the microwave for making chocolate pies. It works just fine. Dump in the milk, add the Jello pudding, bake the crust while the pudding is cooking for 6 minutes, dump the pudding in the crust, throw it in the fridge. I may be fat by Christmas. Loves me a chocolate pie. (cooked pudding only, probably just as easy to do it with the cocoa, but I'm getting lazy)
