I wish the guy I have a 2pm set up with would come in early so we can meet early and I can go pick up my meds and take them and sleep and then restart working.

Wanted Mexican because of the discussion here, but I ended up with chicken marsala over mashed potatoes (much less messy that the standard over-noodles version). I don't think it's enough food, though.

I went to the Nutrition Science students restaurant where they were serving a French meal. I had French Onion Soup, Crepes with Roasted Vegetables (mainly zucchini and mushrooms,) potatoes au gratin and a Pear and Almond tart for dessert. Deliscious. The best parts were the soup, the potatoes and the dessert.

I need to come up with something for a work potluck tomorrow. Probably not a dessert, since I suspect those are covered. Any ideas for something fall or halloweeny?

Some kind of vegetable casserole? People seem to associate vegetables with fall.

Succotash? Mushroom pie? Applesauce?

Eta: I am finding Things that Are Not Dessert to be a hard topic.

Someone brought carrots and parsnips into work last week and they were yummy.

or maybe pumpkin soup? or potato soup? or pumpkin bread?

The vet called.

To confirm a spelling.

They can call me back anytime now, thanks!

I have a potato side dish that I like to use.

Take a two pound bag of frozen potatoes O'Brien, a 16oz sour cream, a can of cream of mushroom soup, a melted stick of butter, maybe some finely diced onion (the potatoes sort of cover that part so optional), and some cheddar cheese.

Dump the bag into a 9x13 pan.

Mix the sour cream, soup, and butter and dump over frozen potatoes.

Cook at like 375 for about 45 minutes.

Take out and cover the top with grated cheddar

Put back in the over for another 10 minutes or so, enough to melt all the cheese.

Done.

It goes over well and presents a nice fall-like orange surface, but it is lacking in the healthy department

Squash soup is very fall.
