NOTES : 'Calabaza' is Spanish for squash.  Is 'calabacitas" Spanish for
small squash? No.  Rather, it is an affectionate name for a dish
made from zucchini, corn and tomatoes -- three vegetables now in
season.
Say's Orlando Ramirez (Riv PE culture reporter):   "No two are
alike."  Arizona cooks add lots of cheese and milk.  Others flavor
it with cinnamon and mint.  Other's add epazote, a Mexican herb
like oregano, that is hard to find stateside. "Agreement: it's a
vegetable stew.  Team it with warmed tortillas and ice tea for a
complete meal."
