A Thank You Note. Butternut Squash Casserole With Cheezy Topping #canwait

Passover Casserole


Happy Passover!  Here we are, stuck at home, avoiding a plague of biblical scale as best we can.
I thought of being cleaver on my blog; publishing the recipe for a rather time consuming casserole.
Instead I'd like to say thank you.

To all the nurses, maintenance workers, lab Technicians, food service staff, housekeeping staff, ward clerks, first responders and doctors, we can't thank you enough!  We are all aware of the dedication it takes to do your job in the presence of this life threatening virus and salute you for your bravery. Because of your heroic actions, an untold number of lives are being saved every day.  The news is keeping the growing number of lives lost squarely in our faces with little attention being given to the lives that are being saved and the people who work 24/7 to save them.
The Talmud says: "He that saves one life saves the world entire." You are unselfishly saving worlds every minute of every day and comforting those who's world's are ending as proxy for families who would give anything to be there instead. 
The rest of us need to stay home as much as possible to be part of the solution rather than a statistic prolonging the problem.
The better those of us tasked with staying home do our job, the sooner all of those who are doing everything to save or comfort all those worlds we love will be home to breathe again, without a mask, and accept our gratitude.
Thank you.
👏👏👏
