| A white Suave Bolla might be nice. As for the pie......
you're right. Use a pumpkin pie recipe substituting squash
for the pumpkin. I've done this before with good results.

| For the squash pie, if you are interested in using a pumpkin pie
recipe, there is one in the Fannie Farmer Baking book which is very
nice. My husband loves it, even though he claims that he doesn't like
desserts usually. I have always made it with fresh pumpkin or squash.
The unusual feature of this recipe is that it uses a cornmeal crust,
which is a little more crunchy than normal. It is best as fresh as
possible.

| 1775.4 | what the heck; i'll buy the book! | ASABET::C_AQUILIA | | Thu May 25 1989 08:10 | 19 |

goodmorning!!!! thanks for the quick responses. i think i might
try a nice white burgendy for the wine ... it sounds like a good
selction. ( wonder if........................ hm...............
if beringer makes one? anyhoo, about the pie; i think your all
right, pumpkin substitution will be o.k. .3 i hope i can find a
cornmeal crust already prepared because the last thing i have yet
to accomplish in cooking is pastries. i have been trying for years
to perfect dinners and alas, had no need for sweets. i still
have no need for them (ha ha) but squash pie has been requested
and i don't believe that is a sweet pie anyways.
thanks again, i guess i have alot to do eh? looking forward though,
i have an upcoming weekend of lobsters, shrimp and prime rib; what
could be better?! (hmmm)
cj (who is going to try and sneak the fannie farmer recipe out of
a book store! ha!)

| 1775.5 | Or try the library | AKOV12::JOY | Gotta get back to Greece! | Thu May 25 1989 17:35 | 7 |
| cj,
Instead of trying to sneak the Fannie Farmer recipe out of a
store, just check it out at your local library. They usually have
a good selection of cookbooks and Fannie Farmer is pretty popular.

| just to let all of you and thank you for your responses... my dinner
went absolutely great! we ended up having the following:
Filet Minon (sp?)
Tomato Vegatable Ravioli
Spinach w/wine vinager
Squash Pie
nothing else was needed; there was plenty there; believe me.
i had used my best linens for the table, a crystal bowl with five
star shaped floating candles next to one single very tall candle
and our best china with our silver. the dinner was real real good.
as for the desert; i used a regular pumpkin recipe and substituted
fresh squash for the pumkin. the recipe called for spices, half
and half, an egg and an unbaked pie crust. i used a box mix for
the crust which was pleasantly flakly and drained the squash real
well. with those combinations the pie was perfect, in fact, we
each had two (2) slices ... not one.
thanks for all the help!
