Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
[Jim Rohn]

 

Watermelon --it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face.
[ Enrico Caruso]

Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.
[ Ralph Waldo Emerson]

Apple Filled Squash Halves

 

Ingredients

2 each acorn squash, md
1 lb lean ground beef
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 cup apples, pared & chopped,2 lg
1/4 cup raisins
1 salt
4 tbsp brown sugar, packed
2 tbsp margarine or butter, melted



 

Preparation

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut each of the squash in half and
remove the seeds and fibers. Place the squash, cut sides down, in an
ungreased baking pan. Then add water to the depth of 1/4-inch and
bake, uncovered, until the squash is tender, about 30 to 40 minutes.
While the squash is baking, cook and stir the meat in a large skillet
until it is brown. Drain off the excess fat. Remove the skillet from
the heat and stir in the 1 1/2 ts of salt as well as the cinnamon,
the coarsely chopped tart apples and the raisins. When the squash is
cooked, turn them so that the cut side is up and remove them to a
platter. Drain off any remaining liquid in the pan and dry. Scoop out
the pulp from the acorn squash, making a shell that is 1/4-inch thick
all the way around. Season the shells with salt to taste. Mash the
pulp and mix in the meat mixture. Return to the shells, piling them
full and sprinkle with 1 tb of brown sugar on each. Drizzle with the
melted butter. Bake uncovered until the apple is tender, about 20 to
30 minutes. Serve hot. NOTE: You can substitute a combination of 1/2
lb lean ground beef and 1/2 lb of bulk pork sausage for the 1 lb of
lean ground beef.
