Tonight I'm making spaghetti squash. I always get nostalgic when I bake it- and the funny thing is that it isn't from any particular recipe--- in fact every time I do make it I wing it- but still spaghetti squash reminds me of my grandma & grandpa- one year they were surprisedv when this strange squash started growing in their garden- they hadn't specifically planted it- had never even heard of it actually- at the time I took that little tidbit for granted- probably even thought them a little foolish or something!

 Now, however, I enjoy the knowledge that that little tidbit gives me- and that is the knowledge that my granpatents were winging it too- they had an amazing garden-- in which I'm sure was planted my inspiration and desire to have one of my own. And mysterious things just grew in it. And they cooked up these mysterious veggies and ate them! And I can still see the grin on my grandpa face when he talked about growing stuff- or how my grandma described the strange stringy squash--- imagine- spaghetti in a squash!

 Anyway- I don't know how it will all taste , but I always enjoy the nostalga that I dish up along with it!
