Baked pumpkin butternut squash is, I feel, the STAR ingredient.
The curse of cell phones
But first, our friends came for a light bite for dinner and a glass of wine, and we served this Pumpkin Spice Butternut Squash Charcuterie Board.
Everyone automatically put their cell phones up. Wow, I was so impressed.
This is what I’ve noticed about cell phones. Everyone starts off pretty good.
Then one person sneaks out their phone …
Then others follow, and a few more pull out their phones.
And texting at the table? THIS IS A NO-NO.
A big NO-NO! It can wait, and if it can’t, excuse yourself.
Cell phones have become a huge inconvenience and can be very rude.
How to bake butternut squash
But now on to this beautiful platter of fall food!
On a baking sheet, line the pan with 1 sheet of parchment paper.

Disclaimer: I often, but not always, take a few pics at gatherings (it’s my job), then put my cell phone down. If i’ve started an instagram story on an “entertaining moment,” then I may add a few pics later of the meal or the table. A quick pic of the table or food, but never texting or checking FB or Instagram.
