You asked if I hear the music... this recipe was singing delicious melodies of savory delectables...
I love sage dressing... and acorn squash? Over the top! Your creation sounds divine -- question is: when's dinner? I'll bring the rolls and wine ;-)

Nice to see you -- have been extraordinarily busy... thank you for pointing me in this direction!

Only the best,
Duckie
