Yellow Squash & Corn Casserole

Yellow Squash & Corn Casserole from Julia Johnson, AllRecipes.com.

I'm out of practice and need to brush up on my food photo skillz. The macro shot was unusable.

I used regular corn, not cream-style corn and I used a bit of Splenda instead of sugar. Oh, and Colby Jack cheese because I didn't have any Parmesan. Other than that, I followed the recipe to the letter. ;-) This was so delicious, I'll be taking it to work for lunch this week. Even Steve, a vegetable non-eater declared it, "not bad". Higher praise for vegetables, you'll not come by from him.


I watched part of the Democratic convention last night because I wanted to see the tribute to Ted Kennedy. It was fairly moving but what really got to me was watching an emotional Maria Shriver watch her uncle & extended family. I feel like I "know" her from her friendship and interviews with Oprah. I still don't quite get what she sees in Arnold but it must be something. Still, she seems like someone you could just hang out with. (If you're Oprah, I mean.)

I said to Steve that these political conventions should be produced by some former Olympic organizers and/or Olympic television producers. Not that they need the same entertainment value, but man oh man, the production could definitely use some tightening up. Way too much wasted time between events. I haven't watched any conventions in years but the delegates are still way too silly. I never understood that. Imagine being a foreigner seeing that for the first time. What the serious business of politics has to do with silly hats, I'll never know. It's embarrassing, quite honestly.
