We've had yellow squash since last October. This is the only month we
haven't really had them. I was buying them like crazy last fall
thinking the season was just ending, but 8-9 months later they're
still available at slightly higher prices - I was paying $.59/lb last
fall. So why do they call it summer squash?

Trying pan sauteeing the squash hot and fast on the stove with EVOO
and some spices of choice (nothing that will burn) until al dente.
The squash should have some dark spots form the heat but not be mushy.

Or broiling in a pan drizzled with olive oil (less effective, IMO)

Beats me why they call it summer squash. It's available from the farm stand
for another month or so. Of course it's available year round at the grocery
store.

Sounds good! It's a beautiful night for grilling out. I love summer
squash. Do you simmer the bratwurst in beer?

Not when I'm grilling it. I have simmered brats in beer but not tonight.

Ginger juiced baby bok choy. The chicken tried to get away, so I
broke its leg.

I think these were some of those $.35/lb chicken legs I bought in 10lb
bags.
