I'm not Tory, but I can offer a possible answer: the seasons are changing, it's becoming winter. Your caveman self may be responding to the decreasing levels of light, warmth and the onset of winter by trying to put on a few more pounds to get you through the impending cold season. >I guess I'm obviously hoping you'll tell me something like " It's normal, >Bette -- hang in there and calm down, and this will pass before you know it. " >Bette >278/237/175 Changing seasons have various effects on different people. Some folks fight serious bouts of depression, others get a milder form and console themselves with " nesting " on the sofa with a blanket and good book (my husband among them). I myself start craving mashed potatoes and fresh bread... Do you recall any similar bouts of hunger in the late fall in previous years? (Probably not -- when you could just eat as you pleased, it wasn't worth remembering right?) (Hem.) It's normal, Bette. Hang in there and calm down, and this will pass before you know it. Eat lots of vegetables. Love, Donna from Surrey, British Columbia, Canada Donna.Hrynkiw@... Therapy is expensive, but poppin' bubble wrap is cheap! You choose.

As long as you journal them! Anybody have any idea how many grammes of fibre there are in a branch or a root? Nevermind. They'd probably count as vegetables -- count 'em as 0 and chew away, Bette.

My mother never served them much and they're next on my list of new foods to try. I'm assuming that I skin 'em and scrape out the seeds (a la pumpkin, right?). Then I steam them? For how long? Any toppings or seasonings you can recommend? Donna in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada Donna.Hrynkiw@... Therapy is expensive, but poppin' bubble wrap is cheap! You choose.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 You can bake or microwave squash. I like it with a little nutmeg or cinnamon on it, or with garlic. > Re: Tory - a question.... > > > > >I took your words to heart and had, along with my tuna tostadas, a > >whole pile of raw baby carrots and some steamed squash. > >christi > > Christi, tell me more about cooking squash.
