Biodegradable packaging
Can I just give a shout out to Stahlbush Island Farms and their biodegradable packaging? I feel so guilty when making a purchase and being left with more packaging than actual product. This company has my attention. Sustainable farming practices and a a package that is 100% biodegradable. The squash is also delicious. We do the traditional baking at 350˚ for 30 minutes with a sprinkle of brown sugar and butter.

Paris, Texas
We took a day trip a few weeks ago to Paris, Texas. We'd heard about the famous smaller scale Eiffel Tower topped with a red cowboy hat that graces the town and that we just had to see. We almost drove past it. There was another stunned couple in the parking lot who were from Brooklyn. We all just stood there and marveled, "We thought it would be bigger." Said couple graciously snapped this photo of us.
