My husband's grandfather used to say: "Apple pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze." He ALWAYS had a slice of cheddar with his pie. That's too bad that food because stressful but there are always articles about that. Certainly my mother would panic over any roux based sauces -- she ALWAYS got stuck making the creamed onions and gravy and it really stressed her out. I learned that all from Joy of Cooking, THANK YOU. And I'm glad the squash dish was yummy -- I made a butternut puree that was just WONDERFUL from pioneer woman.
