squash is a squash

As i notice the spring crops comming in i can't help myself from wanting to start canning, and cooking all veggie suppers... so with my grocery store crack fix soon to be happening i ponder what do i cook for supper ... a great big salad comes to mind ... but we did that the other night ... so squash it shall be , stuffed squash that is ... as i shimmer around the produce section i seize the squash with a drool in my mouth adding to my veggie finds i figure i'll need cherry maters, red onion, fresh basil, smoked gouda, some bacon , breadcrumbs, and garlic and vuala i got stuffed squash it's whats fer supper , wonder why the lil old man in the produce dept follows me around like i'm gonna steal something .... you think they frown on me rubbing on the veggies and laying on the stands hugging the food and why cant us older people get the free cookies in the bakery dont we need sugar too alas i continue my pilgamage through the gro store and go home with yet again stuff i dont need... i think if i had a therapist they'd need a therapist HELLO MY NAME IS FRANNIE AND I'M A FOOD AHAOLIC !!!!!!
