I am talking use of pumpkins which you deleted from your reply.
Pumpkin is a specific orange squash (and sweet potatoes are unrelated
tubers).

Same here. Recipes are guidelines and even my so called 'classics' are
not identical when I make them. I give the portion idea here so others
can get a general feel.

That's just sad. It's like Eric Clapton saying "I've mastered the guitar.
Time to give it up and switch to the bassoon."

It would be sad if one considers broadening their horizons a bad thing. What's sad is being stuck in a rut/box. That is, indeed, a very bad thing. What the hell do you have against the bassoon?

Nothing.

But you can broaden your horizons without abandoning what you've
perfected.

Concur, they don't label it here as crookneck but since the taste is
identical, no biggie here.

Suggest you actually try using one. While ot optimal for pies, they
work just fine for many things. THat is why they are grown and sold.

You deliberately deleted the relevant information then replied wrongly

I'm just fine with it if they don't mess up the trimming and quote

Another idiotic statement by our resident Hawaiian. Anyone who enjoys
cooking and has gone to the trouble to learn how to make a particular
dish will likely prepare it again because gee... it tasted good! What
do you want to bet he didn't stop making rice after he learned how?

I have no idea what "relevant information" you are squawking about. You could have taken action and quoted the part that's so important. My guess is that you prefer to bitch and moan rather than taking care of what needs to be taken care of. I quote my previous post and maybe you can make an effort to give me a clue about this matter - or you can just continue to act like a batty old witch:

Agreed! Some of the Google users can't be bothered to quote, so often
times the replies make no sense to readers having no point of reference.
I've noticed posts from Google often get broken or disconnected from
the original thread, too.

The other problem is that's where most of the SPAM originates. Idiots
trolling for dates, for example. That's another reason Google fails as
a newsreader. There's no way in Google to delete crap like that in
Google. Me, I can just hit the delete key and boom! The post is gone.
If it's a repetitive troller it's easy enough to set up a quick filter.

And of course, there are the Google Groupers who can't seem to read the
date on a post before they reply. They don't quote and they're replying
to something posted 20 years ago. Leaves the rest of us scratching our
heads, what are you talking about? LOL

The ukelele boy can't cook decent rice or anything,,, after looking at
all his pictures everything he cooks looks the same (over cooked
braised slop) and nothing I'd want to eat, I'd much rather tube steak
and beans. He thinks he can cook, NOT! The dwarf is a much better
cook with all his Arby's samwiches,

Whoa, Jill, the relatively new white chocolate-dipped Oreo minis are really, really tasty. Of course, I like Oreos. ;-))

(FYI, I am answering your post on my laptop, and the entire post(s) I am replying to show up. So if they don't show up when my post shows, I don't know anything more I can do.)

Uhm, the worst food I see here, is your 50s nursing home food.

I will very, very occasionally use my table to read GG, but not to reply.
Anyway, the desk chair at my PC is the most comfortable seat in the house.

Just looked at that, Dsi1. YUMMO. The peppers look a bit raw and
hard but maybe not. Very nice looking plate, imo.

His frequent and yawnable pot roast comes to mind here.

I thought they were about right but if I was cooking for diners at a restaurant, I'd go for a softer texture. The peppers were fried and steamed beforehand separately. They should have been chopped up into smaller pieces. Next time.

We had pot roast last night. It was kind of boring. I guess I didn't put all my heart into it. I stumbled upon this nasty piece of meat at the Safeway - it was going for dirt cheap so I bought it. Last night's pot roast might put me off from ever making it again. It was a "jump the shark" pot roast.

Yep, Nancy, I see you're quoting just fine. As for Oreos, they were
never my favorite cookie. I guess that's why I've never tried any of
the variations they've come out with over the years.

Sure, but the Google interface to Usenet was pretty much a result of
them acquiring Dejanews (I think I got that right; I'm sure Steve Wertz
could clarify). It was never intended for use via mobile devices. The
Google interface also doesn't have any SPAM or troll filtering options.

Doubtful that you ever tried the Brussel Spout flavored Oreos. I
never did either.
