cgraham, I use the pie crust recipe that came with the Cuisinart. There is a better one in a book I sometimes get from the library, but I can never remember the name, so I have to look for it. Something like "Desserts for the 90's" or some such silly name, but it has really good recipes. If I find the book I will post recipe. I have several Martha Stewart books, but have not had luck with her recipes, so just use them as idea-starters. I love my Cuisinart pie crust recipe so much I have never tried any other except the one in the book at the library.

Baked acorn squash stuffed with currants sounds good, I would probably use dried cranberries, but next time I bake squash I will try putting dried fruit in the cavity, I guess you soak a little, maybe in apple juice? and also use butter and maybe maple syrup or brown sugar? Wrap in foil?

Never tried Yukon gold potatoes, I have read about them. If you think they are that good, I will try.

I like cornbread for the stuffing, otherwise, the same things you use, also bell pepper, onion, lots of herbs. I chop the veggies in the food processor, then saute in a dutch oven until they are fairly done, in olive oil and butter, then mix in the bread crumbs, moisten with chicken broth, I put in an egg or two to make it meld.

I used to put marshmellows for the children, but they never ate the sweet potatoes anyway, so this year I will do for myself, the way I like it. I like sweet potato pone, shred the sweet potatoes coarsely while still raw, make a kind of pudding with brown sugar, lots of spices. Pecans, maybe.

I only have one oven, which is one reason my husband always fusses at me for doing too much. When I get a bigger house, I want a fancy restaurant stove and a convection oven, some day.
