SOS (Sick of Squash)
Fall is in the air, and for those of us in Putney it is time to lock the doors to our houses and cars against the dreaded donated squash. True New Englanders that we are, we just cannot let anything go to waste and hence, we play "Pass the Squash" (To the Left-hand Side).

We politely say "thank you" and cannot wait for the next person to walk through the door as they will be the new victim of "Pass the Squash". How much squash can one person eat? Gastrinomically speaking, there is only one thing to salvage squash - lots of cheese, onions, pepper, breadcrumbs and sometimes a daub of maple syrup.
