    Tanya and family...I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. He was a spirit unmatched in the food forums. I "met" him through food.com/recipezaar where he always had a kind word for anyone. He will be missed by many online friends.

  9. Dear Tanya,
    So sorry to hear of your father's passing. I ran across this while looking for a squash recipe. I missed knowing your dad by 22 days and he sure sounded like a great man from his blog. My friend is going thru a similar situation and all the words and terms sound the same. What happened in the month of May...it sure sounded like he beat the cancer? My prayers are with you! Lovingly, Karen
