Thank you, thank you. Read this email today and I have 2 butternut sitting on my kitchen counter right now. Can’t wait to try this. With reference to the substitution for evaporated milk, I have cashew milk I’m going to use – such an adventure!

Cataract surgery in Austin is a common and effective procedure for restoring clear vision. The surgery involves removing the cloudy lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens (IOL). Several clinics in Austin offer advanced techniques, including laser-assisted cataract surgery, which enhances precision and reduces recovery time. The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis and typically takes less than an hour.
Patients experience improved vision within days, with minimal discomfort. Austin’s eye care centers, such as Dell Laser Consultants and Austin Eye, are well-regarded for providing personalized care using state-of-the-art technology to ensure optimal outcomes.
