I remember, years ago, I had things called pumpkin seeds. They were white, and salty, and I distinctly remember, rolling them around in my mouth and loving the salty taste.

I also remember pink pistachio nuts (I think they were pistachio nuts). That you cracked them open with your teeth and you ate the little seeds inside.

The only problem with this was that they dyed your hands and mouth a bright red. But god, were they delicious!!!!!

I am going to cut up my giant today. I'll take a photo of it all cut up so you can see what one giant squash can yield. And this was the baby of the lot.

I won't eat the seeds. I can't imagine what they look like.

Oh, I have a tip for all of you weight watchers out there. The other day I went to Shop Right. They sell a package of Chicken Sausages made by Al Fresco. These were BUFFALO CHICKEN SAUSAGES. Well, you have never tasted something so delicious in all your life. Comes 4 to a package. Now I have no idea if you can get these where you live but if you like something with a little kick (not too hot, but a little kick), you will adore these. They took the taste of Buffalo chicken wings and put this taste into the chicken sausages. I sprayed PAM in the skillet. I took my knife and made four indentations in the sausages, and then I cooked them. They plumped up and you got the grill marks. I can only imagine what these would taste like if you plut them on a grill. Even a George Forman Grill (oh I just remembered, I have a George Forman). Believe me, the next time I go to Shop Right I'm buying a few packages and freezing some and eating the rest for a few nights. I eat two at a time, with a nice side of vegetables.

These are low-fat, no carb and nothing wrong about them. They also had other flavored chicken sausages. One was Maple Apple. Can you imagine, a Maple Apple flavored sausage??? And my friend bought the Feta Cheese and Spinach stuffed Sausage??? Oh my god, I'm getting hungry typing this, AND I NEVER GET HUNGRY.

I am experimenting with things other than chicken and fish. It's nice to be able to eat delicious foods and not have it go straight to my hips.

When I get the next batch of Buffalo Chicken sausages, I'll take a photo and put it here. Then you can see the colors of the sausage.

bye for now.
