Honey, I love you witli all my heart. Thank you
for always being there for me and Bus Bus and
always going the extra mile for us. I love you for
all the changes we accomplished together. You
never gave up on finding a job and putting a roof
over our heads, and I love you so much for never
giving up. You are the number one husband and
daddy. You are the strongest man I could ever
meet and I know I could always depend on you
for anything. Words can’t explain how much love
I have for you. I dedicate all my love and life to
you. Remember I will always be here for you
and that I will never turn my back on you. You
gave me a life I thought could only exist in my
dreams. Thank you for giving me my happily
ever after fairy tale love. Much hugs and kisses,
your wife for life, Ikie Marie Brown.
To Cecil Fern Frank, a Valentines Day Wish. Daddy’s
Tittle Girl. I remember the day God brought y o u here,
yo u erased all my doubts and wiped my tears. D idn’t
believe y o u would change my life, one look at yo u and you
made things right. You’re the most precious treasure I
possess, it’s you I think about before I lay down to rest.
Praying to the angels o f north and south, east and west
to keep the devils out. I ask to guide and protect while
yo u sleep, send yo u love so y o u ’l l always be complete. Long
ing fo r y o u r voice when I fe e l alone, the sight o f yo u face
takes me home. N othing can compare to the jo y y o u

possible when y o u ’re around, unconditional love in you I
found. I know at times you wonder and ask fo r me, look
deep in yo u r heart that’s where I ’l l be. We may not see
each other fa ce to face, ju s t know that y o u ’l l never be
replaced. No matter how hard times can get, always try
yo u r best and never regret. I ’m here fo r y o u i f good ever
comes to worst, comfort and relieve y o u r heart when it
hurts. Take y o u by the hand and be a p a rt o f y o u r
world, I ’l l do anything because y o u r daddy’s little girl.

Keeping warm with winter squash
B y Lutomia Kuto
OHSU D ietetic Intern
N othing beats the w inter
chills than sitting by the fireplace
(or heater) and eating a nice,
steamy and delicious bowl of
soup. In fact, using Native foods
such as winter squash to make
mouthwatering soups or stews
is quite a traditional and nutri
tious way to eat.
H isto rically, the word
“squ ash ” is
from
the
Narragansett language of the
M assach uset Indian w ord
askutasquash which means “to
eat raw or uncooked.”
Today we tend to cook our
squash, making it more edible
and easier to chew and digest.
As an indigenous plant to North
America, squash was one of the
“three sisters” planted, culti
vated and eaten by N ative
Americans in the Southwest. It
was typically planted together
with the other two sisters maÍ 2 e
(corn) and beans.
Which one do I choose?
Winter squash are available
from August through March,
but are best in season from Sep
tember to November. Look for
a firm squash that feels heavy
for its size and has hard, tough
skin. Avoid squashes that are
moldy or sunken in.
Storage
Don’t wash squash before
storing.
Choose a cool and dry place.
Most types will keep up to 3
months.
Optional: Cut raw squash in
pieces and store in fridge. Use
within a few days.
Preparation and Cooking
Squash is “technically” a fruit,
but in cooking it is considered a
vegetable. Winter squash gener
ally require cooking until they
are soft. They can be baked,
boiled, grilled or even steamed.
They also mix well with onions
and tomatoes in vegetable mixes.
Once it is cooked, it can be pu-
reed or mashed to be used in
soup, main dishes or pies. They
can also be dressed with olive
oil, herbs, nuts or cheese.
Nutritional Value
Only 1 cup of winter squash
(baked cubes) gives you a whop
ping 145% daily value of vita
min A in the form of beta-caro
tene. This nutrient is a power
ful antioxidant that may help
prevent plaque build up in your
arteries. The potassium in
squash may help lower blood
pressure, while the vitamin C
helps keep your skin healthy.
Preparation baked whole:
Wash squash and pierce sev
eral times with a knife. Place in
a baking dish, and bake, uncov
ered. If using a conventional
oven, the baking temperatures
can vary betw een 325( and
400(F. A small squash at higher

temperature may be done in 45
minutes. A large squash at a low
cooking temperature may take
11/2 hours. Test for doneness
by pushing on the skin with a
potholder. Squash is done when
it “gives” slightly. Remove from
oven and let stand 10 minutes
or until cool enough to handle.
Cup open and remove strings
and seeds.
Baked halved or cut:
Wash and cut squash length
wise or into pieces. Remove
seeds. Lightly brush cut surfaces
w ith vegetab le oil. L ightly
sprinkle with brown sugar or
parmesan cheese, if desired.
Place in baking dish with a few
tablespoons of water and bake
until tender.
Popular winter squashes:
B uttern u t squash, acorn
squash, hubbard squash, turban
squash, pumpkin.

Currently, the leading com
mercial producers of squash
include China, Japan, Romania,
Turkey, Italy, Egypt and Argen
tina.
