And then the anticipated day we consciously stopped looking for will come
with the song of the Robin; the silently seen budding of the tree, and the
return of ducks, geese, rabbits, and squirrels. New life will come. It is
nature’s way of walking us into maturity and growth.
It is not the easy way, but it is a joyful and purposeful journey; one that leads
us toward becoming a deeply compassionate people who care about the
world in word and action.
It is autumn and she is glorious! She is calling us to engage the beauty of
change, the struggle of transition, the hope of patience, and the gifts of
gratitude.
Thank you for walking the way you do; for taking in this beauty of autumn.
God bless you

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH PARMA HAM
This dish will put the star into your
starter, yet it’s so simple it’s almost
embarrassing!
The ingredients are: butternut
squash, prosciutto and sage, but if
you want to go Spanish and use
Jamon Serrano instead of Parma, I
will not hold it against you.
Method:
➢
➢
➢
➢
➢
peel and chop one butternut squash into chunky rectangles
wrap a slice of Parma around each rectangle; you don’t need to
cover the squash completely
put the pieces on an oven tray and lightly drizzle with olive oil
add a sprinkle of sage (dry or fresh) and put the tray in the pre-
heated oven at 180 degrees
after about 30 minutes the ham will be nice and crisp around the
softened squash and the smell will be divine!
