Is that Laura's pot roast the premade stuff in the box?? How was it?? Saw it today @ Acme but forgot to pick it up.....

And I was wondering if that movie was any good....what's it about?

Yes, it's the pre-made stuff in the box, but the ingredients look fairly clean with little processing. I only got it myself because it was on sale at Acme this week. But I have to say it was really good! So far, I haven't been let down by any Laura's lean beef or Jenny O turkey products at all.

I thought the movie was very funny, entertaining & well-done - one of the best I've seen in a while. It's about a dysfunctional family that is determined to have their 7 yr old daughter participate in the Little Miss Sunshine pageant. Definitely go see it if you can - I think you & hubby would both like it!

She showed me pictures of herself from when she weighed 50lbs more and I couldn’t believe it as she sat in front of me. She looks nothing like her former self!!

Sorry I didn't make it tonite.....would have loved to have come, but couldn't bring myself to make the drive.....just too lazy today!! Glad to hear you had fun!!

Now that's it getting to be fall....have you tried mashed butternut squash?? You can buy it pre-cubed at the store cuz it's really hard to peel, etc - but it's delicious mashed & I think a good alternative to sweet potato....

No problem, Jens...we'll get together another time

Hmm, mashed butternut squash sounds good. How do you mash it? In a chopper? And what do you add to it?

Well you could mash it with a hand masher, ie for mashed potatoes or in a food processor.....Some veggie broth would work, then spice as desired.....

It has a different taste than sweet potato - rich & creamy.....

Hi back, Flor

I have a mini food processor so I'll have to try the mashed butternut squash, Jens! Thanks for the idea
