Our dinner tonight was that Rick Bayless recipe for Roasted Butternut
Squash soup that Bob T. posted, along with Bacon/Lettuce/Tomato/Red
Onion wraps using this incredible Old Cape Cod brand Chipotle Ranch
dressing spread on the wrap. A very enjoyable Halloween meal. I also
made homemade gingersnaps with a pumpkin dip but we were too full to eat
any!
