Cooking & Baking

Salad. Maybe rice or potatoes and maybe not. Pots du creme for dessert.

Later I've got to figure out how to preserve the extra zucchini - the amounts you buy at the Farmers' Market are always more than I can use for a single meal. I'm thinking of drying it. I also have a half peck of apples to make into a second batch of sauce for canning. That'll probably do it for applesauce for this year, but I may can slices later in the fall. Next weekend, I'll try to put up a couple 4-5# chickens, if the co-op has them. Otherwise, some other meat.

And I've got to plan something for tomorrow that can reheat for a second meal, along with supplies for the other weekly dinners. I'll have to shop for it all tomorrow. I've got 2 late nights, one moderately late night and 2 half days to plan for. Anything fresh on a sale I can't turn down will have to get preserved, too.

Life was easier before the Terra Cotta Toddler got hold of the economy. I've been planning since November and I'm still not looking forward to winter.
