Not only that but you can cook it ahead and just heat it up when you want to serve it. In the Lucke test kitchen I had wondered how that squash recipe would taste using applewood bacon. I see by looking at recipes that applewood bacon is used for a lot of things lately so I decided to prepare my squash using that bacon. I have not yet cooked the squash that way. I plan on cooking som...

It used to be that there were three in the booth calling the game in the days of Frank Gifford and Monday Night Football. These days there is barely enough ego room for two to a booth. There are lots of innuendo, lots of prideful remarks and lots of thinking they are experts in calling whatever game they are calling. I laugh when I think of that because it is fun to go back to the old definition of an expert. Take the word apart. An ex is a has been and a spurt is...
