Nicole, chopped the chilies, browned some ground turkey with onions, added cheese, eggs, flour and milk to make a casserole. The recipe I was kinda looking at called it a Chili Relleno casserole - which no, it isn't. I messed with the ingredients and portions enough to easily ignore that title.

Just pulled it out of the oven and it smell YUM. I'm being a loser and waiting for the end of the inning before serving some up. Ahhh...now it is time.

::I will not turn my nose up at fetched Boston Market and beg to be taken to Suzi or Kat's house::

But I so want to.

Oh Kat, that sounds delicious.

I had gnocchi for supper too. With a really basic sauce I made from my homw grown tomatoes. It was pretty yum.

I also made a pretty good curried squash soup from squash also from my garden.

Now I need to do something with a lot of unripe tomatoes. I guess I can make my mom a metric tonne of green tomato chow.

The San Francisco-area Buffistas, in particular, may want to catch the last segment of 60 Minutes.

OOH, thanks for the heads up. That sounds amazing.

Nicole - I am within driving distance. It turned out pretty good if I say so myself. I'm wishing I had gotten peppers with a bit more kick. I think the ones I got on the high end of medium scared me but mild just ain't kicky enough.

I just grated some beets for a dip I'm making for a thing on Tuesday. But I'm out tomorrow after work, so I figured I'd better get started. Luckily, I remembered to wear gloves!

Nicole, what Seattle restaurants were you contemplating? Several of us could give suggestions!

I am having a muuuuch better time at this conference than I did last year. I think I have less energy/stamina, but I've been better at pacing myself an sitting things out watching rather than doing.

....and the cute girl hooking up with me didn't hurt either. (five years younger, does that count as cradle?)

OMG gnocchi! I am having gnocchi at my childhood favorite restaurant tomorrow night and I cannot wait!

What does it say about me that I'm contemplating driving an extra hour tomorrow so that I can go back to the Sephora?

meara, I've basically been sticking to Yelp reviews and photos for anything near our hotel (Hotel Monaco). So far I've bookmarked Petra Mediterranean Bistro, Pike Place Chowder, Big Al's Brewing (for DH) and Molly Moon's (for me).

Not as much research yet on Vancouver stuff but need to get busy on that soon.
