Upcoming next week: Potato Leek Soup by a friend (recipe suitable for Pesach)

Yes, do try the butternut soup. Its taste is more subtle than that of pumpkin. My nieces both enjoy it.
Thanks for the link and Shabbat Shalom.

Butternut squash are commonplace in New Jersey supermarkets in the fall. Come winter, however, they are not as good. I nearly bought a rotten one this week. Sweet potatoes seem to be available all year.

I'm looking forward to their return. I had a mother feeding her young ones on my patio last Spring! Have a great weekend Leora!

Nice to hear from you, Jientje! Interesting you mention their return, as I am seeing them in the snowiest part of our winter.

See..you are doing bird ids....I have had a few starlings here too. A very successful non-native bird introduced because somebody thought that all the birds mentioned in the works of Shakespeare should be in America.....Michelle
