Hey guys. Sorry about the constant layout changing. I'm just very iffy on all the ones I've conjured up. It would help a lot if you could comment on my tagboard and tell me which one you like most. It's just that downloads have come to a screeching halt and i don't know whether I just lost popularity or I started sucking hah. I thought it was because the previous layout was not accessible so this one is really blunt and accessible.

I should be coming out with some new stuff soon. Just bare with me, a lot of sheep is going down.
Baaaaaaah.

It is worth making the most of baby squash while they are in season. Use any varieties you can find and do not worry too much about choosing vegetables of uniform size, as an assortment of different types and sizes look attractive. The baked vegetables can easily be shared out at the table. Serve with warm sun-dried tomato bread and a ready-made spicy tomato sauce for a hearty fall supper.
Stuffed Baby Squash
Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Pierce the squash in several places with the tip of a knife. Bake for 30minutes, until the squash are tender. Leave until cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, cook rice in salted, boiling water for 12 minutes, until tender, then drain. Slice a lid off the top of each squash and scoop out and discard the seeds. Scoop out and chop the flesh. Heat the oil in a skillet and cook the chopped squash for 5 minutes. Reserve 4 tablespoons of the cheese, add the remainder to the skillet with the rice and a little salt. Mix well. Pile the mixture into the squash shells and place in an ovenproof dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake for 20minutes. Serves 4. (: Apprécier!
4 small squash, each about 12 ounces
1 cup mixed wild and basmati rice
4 tablespoons chili and garlic oil
1 1/4 cups grated Swiss cheese

This is a sim of Rupert Grint. He is soooo hott! Hah. For those of you who don't know, he is the actor who plays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter movies. I made him wear the maroon thermal his mother always sends him every Christmas. Love love love Harry Potter! (: I again did not create any of the custom content, I just put it together. Enjoy!

A vanilla and coffee syrup brings out the wonderful flavor of figs - serve strained plain yogurt or vanilla with the poached fruit. A good selection of different honey is available - its aroma and flavor will be subtly scented by the plants surrounding the hives.
Fresh Fig Compote
Choose a skillet with a lid, large enough to hold the figs in a single layer. Pour in the coffee and add the honey. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the pan. Add the vanilla bean then bring to a rapid boil, and cook until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Wash the figs and pierce the skins several times with a sharp skewer. Cut in half and add to the syrup. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the figs from the syrup with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool. Strain the syrup over the figs. let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving. Etre robuste !
1 2/3 cups fresh brewed coffee
1/2 cup honey
1 vanilla bean
12 slightly under-ripe fresh figs
