user: INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Split the squash in half, lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds and pulp. Peel, then cut squash into 1-inch chunks Toss the squash cubes together with the prepared onion, garlic, a tablespoon of olive oil, minced sage, plus salt and pepper to taste. Spread the squash mixture evenly on a baking sheet, and roast for 40 minutes, until the squash is soft. While the squash roasts, fill a large saucepan about 3/4 full of water, and bring to a boil. Add a tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt, then add in one pound of bow tie (farfalle) pasta. Cook until al dente (about 8 to 10 minutes). Drain the pasta and set to the side. When the squash mixture is ready, add two tablespoons of olive oil to a large sauté pan, and heat until it's shimmering. Carefully stir in the balance of the sage, avoiding the pops and sputters of hot oil. Stir fry for about a minute, then remove with a slotted spoon or spatula to a paper towel, and dust lightly with salt (ground sea salt is ideal). Place the squash mix and pasta into the pan, and crumble the fried sage into the mix. Sauté over medium-high heat, tossing steadily, until the the pasta is getting crispy on the edges. Add in the pine nuts, and cook for another minute. Toss in the parmesan, stir to combine, then serve with crusty bread and a Chenin Blanc or Pinot Gris.  Note: if your pan is small, do the final sauté in batches. Too much in your pan will create steam and prevent the pasta from crisping. Make this a day in advance, if you like, to allow the flavors to combine.

SUMMARY: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare the squash. Blend squash with vegetables and spices. Roast the squash blend. Cook the pasta. Fry the sage. Sauté the mix.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There may be parents, relatives, teachers, local store owners, neighbors, or others that are familiar with the teens who are bullying, or harassing people on the streets.  Ask if they can help by talking to the group in an assertive, non-violent way. Your family, friends, teachers, or mentors may offer advice that has worked for them, or helped them to be more confident.  Engage with others, rather than feeling singled out as a victim.  You're not alone.    If you are fearful of running into bullying teens every day, or on a routine basis, it's important to work together as a community, and see what can be done.  Seeking help will often reduce your anxiety immensely. Many neighborhoods have community or church groups that can facilitate change, like the Neighborhood Watch Program. Ask a parent, counselor, friend, or mentor about how you and others can get involved. Bear in mind that many people have had negative encounters with bullying or abusive teens.  Some teens are not emotionally mature, and hide behind insults and ridicule as a way to cope with their own negative experiences. No one should feel unsafe walking in their own neighborhood.  Bullies and thugs of any age should not be allowed to take over the streets.   If the harassment is more than just insults, and leads to physical violence, consider making a report to the local police. If you are a student, you can also talk with your school counselor about any incidents in your neighborhood, even if those incidents weren't on school property.

SUMMARY:

assistant: Find out if other community members can help in a constructive way. Talk with people you trust to find solutions. Keep a log or diary of the events, and if incidents continue over time, inform the police.
