Fall is one of my favourite seasons.....with all the colourful leaves changing and the nice crisp cool air.<br />
Acorn Squash are a winter squash......when shopping for them look for some that feel heavy and have no blemishes or soft spots......and are quite firm.<br />
What I love about these Acorn Squash is they keep for weeks or even a couple of months if you store them in a cool and dry place....and are one of my families favourites. Thanks to my husband he cut these up for me cause they are so hard to cut and made this recipe.....<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><u>Sweet Roasted Rosemary Acorn Squash Wedges</u></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 whole ACORN SQUASH, cut into 8 wedges each</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
salt to taste</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 stick of butter, room temperature</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 cup Brown sugar (slightly packed). but I packed mine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 Tbsp. Rosemary, fresh and minced</div>
<br />
<br />
<b><u>INSTRUCTIONS:</u></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Place wedges</b> in a baking dish and <b>drizzle</b> with Olive Oil......<br />

<b>Sprinkle</b> lightly with salt to taste.<br />
<br />
<b>Roast </b>in a 350-degrees oven for 20 minutes.<br />
<br />
<b>Combine</b> butter, brown sugar, salt, and rosemary in a bowl and mix into a paste.<br />
<br />
<b>Remove</b> squash from oven and smear the paste mixture all over the squash wedges...<b>.Return</b> to the oven for another 20 to 30 minutes, till nicely browned and caramelized<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">These Department store (The Bay in Toronto) windows bring me memories and a Christmas tradition ever since I was a kid.......Every year my parents would put us in the car and we would drive into downtown Toronto into the business section. The windows were amazing and looked so realistic especially when you are a young age......I always waited every year and was overly excited as we would drive down that Sunday night to see those decorated windows. They change them yearly....... As I got older my friends and I would just take the Subway and go ourselves on a Saturday afternoon and while there shop away.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then I started the tradition with my daughter and now that she's older she goes herself..... these days just my husband and I drive out to take a look.</span></div>

<i><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;"><b><u>"OVEN ROASTED CORN ON THE COB"</u></b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<i>I love corn cooked anyway you can serve it.........this recipe I've been using for years and usually make it when I have company over..... it is smothered with butter so that's why I don't make this too often even though it is my favourite...but once in a while this way is delicious. </i><br />
<i>Sometimes when we leave the city we stop at road side kiosks along the road where farmers will sell their freshly picked locally grown<span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;"><b> corn.</b></span>.....this year being busy with our flooded basement and lots of renovations going on we really have not ventured outside the city. </i><br />
<i>On Saturday mornings we have this really nice Market in the city near my home that all the farmers from around the Niagara area bring all their fresh fruits and veggies...so we pick up a few cobs of corn there. We know it's local and not shipped from another continent.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<i>Crank up (preheat) your oven to 400 degrees Faren.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Season the <span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">corn </span>with whatever seasonings you like.....I sometimes do seasoned salt or just plain sea salt and pepper and the odd time might sprinkle some (a tiny bit) of garlic powder and /or onion powder, but not toooo much. Then I slather it with unsalted butter all around. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I take my jelly roll pan or cookie sheet and cover it with foil. Roast for about 45 minutes. Turning a few times to make sure it is roasted evenly around.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Another healthier way I do is just rub some Olive Oil on it along with salt and pepper and a bit of cayenne pepper and some barbecue seasonings on the <span style="background-color: white; color: #f1c232; font-size: large;"><b>corn</b></span>....and wrap up each individually with foil and roast for 20 to 25 min.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Whichever way you roast it enjoy!!!!</i><br />

<i>While on our way to see Ephesus one of the wonders of the Ancient World in Turkey.....we always stop at this ceramic place with gorgeous <span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><b>BLUE</b></span> plates, mugs, platters, etc............ They are an amazing work of art all of their ceramic items. I just like to go and look around the place, is quite big with thousands of pieces......they let you take pics outside but not inside. I noticed the prices are quite sky high and usually we pick up pieces at other smaller establishments at a lower price ...but just to go and look around here is amazing. Then we visit one of the Coffee houses down the street and enjoy a Turkish glass of tea (cay). Love sitting outside those cafes and just watching the people go about their daily lives.</i><br />

This was my first hour I was in Paris...........We flew all night and I didn't sleep but hey who could??? I was so excited to be coming to Paris for a week...it has been a long time dream. I finally had made it here. This was just a minute walk to this bridge from our hotel and I could see the <span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><b>NOTRE DAME. </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The day was kind of gloomy and it looked like rain was going to be settling in but I guess I didn't care because I was in Paris. ...they could have had a typhoon and I wouldn't notice.</div>

This was a good time also to be visiting the <span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><b>Notre Dame</b></span> because it was it's 850th year so it was kind of exciting as they had all these festivities this year...and I was lucky to be at this amazing church on its anniversary.</div>

We didn't have to stand in line to long to get inside...but it was long enough, but moved quickly. It was amazingly beautiful in there but quite dark and gloomy inside....none the less just gorgeous with the different works of art, statues and paintings along with beautiful carvings. I had to take a deep breath to soak all this beauty in......I remember studying it in high school.</div>

When I wandered around I thought to myself how it could have been hundreds of years ago and what the people use to look like and what were they doing...and that I was actually there.</div>

<i>I just love <span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><b>potatoes</b></span>.....anyway they could be done, baked, fried, boiled etc...... Basically anything to do with <span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><b>potatoes</b></span> I will eat. You see I grew up with potatoes, almost every night we had them mashed, boiled or fried or even baked. I guess it's a cultural thing....my Family from way back is from the Ukraine and I guess they grew up on potatoes...because as I was told by my Grandparents that the weather there was cold and <b><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">potatoes </span></b>were a good staple to have through out the winter..........</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>On the other hand my husband is from Turkey originally and they are not <b><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">potato</span></b> eaters but rice eaters....so I kind of drifted away from <span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><b>potatoes</b></span> for our meals mainly..........now I serve them more and less rice and my husband is starting to like them better. but hey who doesn't like potatoes.. really I should cook both less as we are trying to eat less Carbs.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The other day I had some 6 nice Russet<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><b> potatoes</b></span> and we were going to do baked <span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><b>potatoes</b></span> on the barbecue outside but things changed and my husband was not going to be home so instead my daughter was around and said let's make those stuffed and baked <span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><b>potatoes</b></span> like you made once before. We made them and managed to freeze half of them.....they are great we just take one out of the freezer and microwave it and we have a <span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>"twice baked potato"</b></span> for those times when we run out of time.</i></div>

<i>While we were in<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"> <b>Rome</b></span> (I miss it already)......we stayed right next door in a hotel to <span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><b>The Pantheon</b></span>. A dream come true for me, for I'm always interested in History and especially Architecture. Well right down the ancient winding streets was a <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;"><b>Gelato</b></span> place.....(ice cream). They had any flavour you wanted..... it was like an<span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;"><b> Ice Cream Wonderland</b></span>. I stood there for hours (just kidding) wondering which flavour I wanted to try....but then I noticed you could get a few flavours of each into one cone...so that's what I did, and I thought I was in heaven. To top it all off they plunked this yummy decadent piece of chocolate on to the top of your ice cream cone.....</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Then as I was walking around I noticed these<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;"><b> chocolate flower candies</b></span>, some were <b><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">BLUE</span></b> and some were a very bright <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;"><b>orange</b></span>.....which were very pricey but worth every penny when that chocolate melted in tour mouth. They looked so pretty with those vibrant colours also. Actually the whole shop looked amazingly delicious and sweet...and I did have to hold myself back, so I wouldn't get a sugar rush.....</i><br />

<i>When I was visiting Turkey a few months ago a friend from Izmir in Turkey brought this salad over for a picnic we had in a park beside The Aegean Sea. First I thought it's very hot and I'm not eating a potato salad smothered in mayo in this scorching heat.........but it turned out to be this potato salad, with no mayo. It was so yummy that I had seconds.</i></div>

Beautiful <span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">"BLUE"</span> sky, it was a very gorgeous sunny day in Rome in the afternoon.....but had rained in the morning.<br />
<br />
<i>This was the last day of sightseeing in Rome before we returned home. We left The Vatican for the last day so we could spend actually the whole day there.......and we could take our time and enjoy the place.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>We usually walked around Rome....so tiring. But with the rain we decided to take a cab, no way were we going to use the Subway or buses there....to confusing. Soon as we got out of the cab a young man greeted us with an umbrella and started to ask if we speak English or what language......we thought oh my gosh he's trying to lure us into buying something. Like the other ones that keep approaching tourists.... actually since I'm a brunette I didn't get approached too much as all my life everyone thought I was Italian (but I'm not). My husband on the other hand got approached quite a lot, is it because he has grey hair?????</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Anyways we listened to what he had to say and he was from a Tour Guide office down the street........for a fee we would get a guide for 2 hours....and skip the 2 hour line-up to get into The Vatican Museum to see the Sistine Chapel. Well that was worth it paying extra as it was raining then drizzling on and off and we didn't want to be like wet noodles so we took the tour........</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>We got about 12 people in our tour mostly from the UK and USA so it was good and they spoke English........the guide we got was such a cute Italian girl named Angela. She was very informative and talked about everything in detail and more. We found out she was a History Student from the University doing a summer job.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>It took 2 1/2 hours of walking through other buildings with The Vatican treasures and the guide explaining the most important buildings and treasures......which they sure have a lot to explore and look at it. Finally we made it to The Sistine Chapel....we only waited 20 min. or so and if not with a guide it would take hours she told us........it was worth the visit there into The Sistine Chapel, absolutely gorgeous and most amazing. My whole life it was a dream for me to see The Sistine Chapel . I couldn't believe I was there and staring at Michelangelo's amazing artistic creation. One thing I thought was that it wasn't as bright as it looked like in pictures, but still amazingly beautiful. ....It was jamm packed like sardines.....basically you could only look at the ceiling as it was wall to wall people. No pictures were allowed to be taken and talking.....security guard around every nook and cranny watching and yelling to be SILENT!!!! They spoke in different languages but still everyone kept talking. Some people just have no respect for anything.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>After the Vatican Museum and The Sistine Chapel we walked into St. Peter's Square......which also with the tour guide got us in right away and didn't have to hang around a line-up for a few hours and let me tell you that line-up was extremely long like for blocks and blocks. After this amazing tour we were starving as we were there the whole day and we found this lil' Italian Cafe on one of these medieval skinny winding streets and had some dinner....it was so yummy.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<i>Here are just some of the foods we had with my husband and daughter after we finished our day tour at The Vatican.</i><br />

<i>We visited this town CESME in Turkey a few months ago.....it's a beautiful coastal town with lots of hotels, restaurants, beaches, yachts and whatever a resort town can offer. It's a very popular holiday resort and during the summer season the population swells to more then ten times the population.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The name "CESME" means fountain in Persian.....and maybe that's' why the city has numerous Ottoman fountains scattered around the town.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I love this place ever since I first saw it about 25 years ago and went to visit my husband's family.......which live in Izmir about 85 KM. away.....I still get confused with this metric system. :-(</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>This place has lots to offer.....there is a whole shopping area geared to tourists of course...I usually have to go with my husband or sister in law so when I see something I touch and they ask the price. Reason being is that when they see me (which they always do) that I'm a tourist, they really hike the price up. But with my dark hair sometimes they just greet me in Turkish and talk away thinking I'm one of them....so maybe I should put my camera away and not hang it around my neck.....giving my identity away.</i><br />

<i>The Genoese Fortress whose dramatic walls dominate the town centre.........was built in 1508.</i><br />
<i>It was built to defend the coast from attacks from pirates.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>It is now a museum and you can go and walk around inside.....up and down stairs being very careful with lots of arches, and through towers offering exhibits on all sorts of subjects related to the Fortress and mostly about the area's naval history.</i><br />

<i> We had some Turkish tea and coffee here with yummy sweet treats.....after a tiring trip coming from Izmir. It was an extremely hot day and we managed to stop in a few places to look around in the heat and get refreshments. Then before we actually came here we visited y Husbands' childhood friend in his office who has some fishing business...... this area is very popular for fisherman with lots of fish restaurants with the most fresh fish you can get....</i><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my Hotel Tour while we were in Rome about a month ago.......where my husband and daughter and I stayed.. we had been in Paris, Izmir and Istanbul for over a month and this was our last stop before heading home. This was actually our 25th wedding anniversary gift and also for my daughter for graduating University.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who would have thought that 25 years had passed.....my husband and I met and got married in 2 months. Most of my friends thought this wouldn't last but it did. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had never been in Rome before so a Travel Agent found a hotel for us but when I googled the streets it kind of looked very quiet.....and coming back to the Hotel in the evenings I wasn't sure if safe or not. On the images it looked quite dead. So...every morning I would get up early and start googling Hotels.....and there in The Piazza della Rotunda was the Pantheon and I knew that Raphael was buried there and he is one of my most favourite artists so I chose this Hotel. Sounds weird but hey life is short to be to serious.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Soon as we got to the Hotel from the airport and being extremely tired for we were in Istanbul for a week, visiting and touring....we dropped our suitcases and headed out the door to the Pantheon.....which was always a dream to visit.....it was amazing and more fabulous then I envisioned it to be and was very big in size. But so crowded, didn't matter for I went inside a few times and got to see more each time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This Hotel Albergo del Senato was absolutely fabulous where we stayed, small but luxurious and the service was amazing. The Piazza in front was amazingly busy with huge crowds daily and quite noisy....with tourists and photo snapping..... .all over the Piazza. lots of cafes in front and around the lil' winding streets. </div>

<i>A group of people with the balloons I guess so they will stay together........when they were inside the Pantheon they were doing cheers which was forbidden. Reason being is that you are supposed to be silent inside being a sacred place...the announcer kept telling them to please be silent...but they kept cheering.

This was on a recent trip we took to my husband's country from which he was born in to visit family......TURKEY. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This "GOZLEME" I absolutely love and must have eaten dozens of them just filled with cheese, anywhere I saw they were preparing them I ordered one. Reason I stuffed myself was that we don't have them here....I mean there are recipes out there but they just don't taste the same.</div>

<i>We were on our way to Ephesus.....a must for anyone visiting Turkey. It's one of the world's wonders of the ancient world.

So we always stop there first.</i><br />
<i>As you enter The Seven Sleeper's area there are a few shops and Cafe's....one of these cafes these ladies were preparing these Gozlemes'. They were turning them out like 'hotcakes' one after another.</i><br />

<i> It was an extremely hot...scorching hot day. After I had climbed the hill to get up there and rummaged through the old ancient ruins and room I got tired and came down the hill with my sister in law for some cold drink. But my husband and daughter continued to look around....as we waited for them we enjoyed some of these Gozlemes'...I had mine with just cheese and my sister in law had cheese and spinach....that is the more popular one but I just enjoy plain cheese. </i><br />
<i>I almost ate the whole thing but a poor stray doggy was looking at me so I threw mine to him but it wasn't enough so I ordered another one and fed him that.........found a bowl poured water for him and he joyfully went away.....those stray animals really hurt me when I see them roaming the streets.</i><br />
