I had so much fun! I went dancing last night with my family. I (LOL) danced the electric slide. I did not know I could. I even got down with my bad self with a couple of other 80s hits. LOL! It was a valentines dance at the sugar room. I had chocolates, Shirley Temples (Yes I live the dangerous life), roses & lots of fun. I loved it. I made a fool of myself on the dance floor, made some new friends & saw some old ones. It was the best. The bad part is I can't blame booze for the dancing. : D

I have been doing homework all day today. I think I have writer's cramp. I am trying to write an instructional paper, it has to be 3-4pages long. I am having trouble not going over 4 pages. I decided to write how to set up outlook 2003. I could write 9+ pages about setting up outlook. I have to scale it down & make sure its easy to understand & follow. I hope I don't make it too hard to understand. Sigh.

I made potato, acorn-nut squash & carrot mash for dinner. 

 Ingredients:

• 1 acorn squash, halved, seeded, and cut into 1-inch wedges
• 6 red potatoes
• 3 large carrots
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 teaspoons garlic minced 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss acorn squash, carrots & potatoes with extra-virgin olive oil and season with the spices. Arrange the veggies in a single layer and cook until tender, 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once they are fork tender remove from the oven. Put all the veggies into a large bowl & mash with a potato masher till slightly lumpy.  

Note: you may server with cream or butter to your taste.
