Tuesday October 12 Yellow Squash

Last week, I took some pictures of the Museum of Fine Art in Auburn I thought some of you might like to see. It is a very nice building and is a great landmark for the city of Auburn. Auburn is really a nice place to live. I enjoy being there for my visits with Lee Ann. It makes Lee Ann's sofa bearable!! Just kidding Lee Lee :)  I was surprised that there is so much natural light in the building. It's beautiful inside and outside.  In these pictures you can't see the terraces that run the length of the building on this side.

My trip to Rabun Gap the 1st of Oct. was great. I posted some of the pictures and promised some more of the farmers market but there were so many people there all I could take pictures of was people! I took some nice pictures of some cabins on Betty Creek just past Andy's Trout Farm on Betty Creek Road in Rabun, Gap.  Heaven can't possibly be more beautiful and tranquil. I could have stayed there forever. I took a picture of the sign for the cabin rentals in case any one wants to rent them.  There are 4 o4 5 cabins for rent. Great place for a group to go. There are so many things to do and see in Rabun County I stayed within a 10 mile radius of Mother's house all weekend. I went to the flea market to look for some old keys for my friend Elizabeth. The lady walking ahead of me bought the only ones in the booth where I knew there would be some.......I told him to keep a look out some more, Lib! I also went to the State Park on Black Rock Mountain. I also went to see some stables and kennels that are built across from The York House Inn. The York House is the oldest operating Inn in Georgia. I want to take some pictures there. I will have to wait until Nov. or Dec. when things slow down up there. October is the heaviest traffic month. Everyone wants to see the leaves turning.  They had just begun to change the 1st. But this weekend, the 15th and the next, they should be at their peek. Nothing more beautiful than the Smokies in fall. :o)

I am posting the recipe for Yellow Squash and Onions. This is one of our favorite squash recipes.

Yellow Squash and Onions

5-7 small to medium young yellow squash washed and stems removed
1 small vidallia onion sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt & Pepper to taste

Slice yellow squash in thin round slices. Slice onions in rounds. In medium sauce pan sautee onions in 3 tbsp of olive oil. When onions are translucent add the squash, and about 1/4 cup water. Add 1/2 tsp of salt. Stir until squash begin to wilt. Reduce heat to medium low and continue to cook until the liquid is cooked out. Stirring occasionally. I like black pepper so I always add black pepper before I take them out of the pan.

The last time I cooked squash and onions I had some left over and Wade had a wonderful idea and added it to his spaghetti sauce. It was absolutely delicious! We also used the spaghetti sauce and made pizzas. Streatching those dimes!!!! I'll write down Wade's spaghetti sauce for you and that will be the next recipe post.
