Dilled Summer Squash
"This is another one of those recipes I found handwritten on the back of an envelope in my junk drawer, so it could've come from anywhere. It's a nice change of pace from just sauteeing summer squash in butter, and it's simple and quick for when it's really too hot to cook."

Made this Friday night along side a dill pasta dish. I usually do this without the dill. Don't know why I didn't think to add some b4 since its DHs favorite herb. I used only zucchini since a neighbor was nice enough to share from her garden. Very good, will make often. -
Made this up exactly as the recipe calls for except doubled it. Really a delicious recipe for using up all that extra summer squash in the garden this year...we will be using this recipe often Thank You so much for sharing it. -
Squash is very plentiful this time of year. This is a quick fix for it using green onions. I had to use dried dill weed for the fresh dill which I sprinkled over the squash the last few minutes. Thanks.

I work as a professional stagehand for my local union (IATSE Local 26, West Michigan Stagehands), which takes me all over the state and lets me meet all sorts of interesting people. My primary training is in lighting and wardrobe, and I can be found backstage at everything from rock concerts to opera/ballet/symphony/Broadway tour performances to hockey games to corporate meetings and Presidential appearances. In June of 2005, my Local elected me to serve as a delegate to our International convention in mid-July, which was held in Honolulu. In November of 2008, I was elected to my third three-year term as Recording Secretary of my union local. Currently, I am the news poster for www.megatechnews, a computer tech site affiliated with several other tech sites.
My biggest passion is union activism. The more I get involved, the more I want to be involved. I also read like a fiend and enjoy "discovering" local or regional bands at local clubs.
Recently, I started making jewelry again after a more than ten-year hiatus. It started as a project for Christmas presents, but doing it reminded me how much I enjoy it, so I may be resurrecting my business soon. I never duplicate a piece, because the entire point is that I do custom work, and will take orders to suit. The pieces I have done are in a photo album on Facebook located here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=21364&id=1373365950&l=5be410742d
