Go, smonster! I'm happy to chat along if it helps.

We tried spaghetti squash for the first time tonight. It was surprisingly easy to make, and it tasted good as well. We got a huge one from our CSA, so it was enough for two nights worth of meals.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'll cheer you on, smonster, but it's horribly hypocritical of me, as I sit here in the comfy chair not working on my to-do list.
Go, smonster, go!

YNAB is a budgeting program called You Need A Budget.
My only to-do tonight is to go to the damn gigantor liquor/party store in Northern Kentucky to replace my dad's Christmas present that I dropped and broke last night (a Budweiser holiday beer stein). Budweiser has a new design every year and he collects them. I've been getting them for him for literally decades, and this is the first time I'm dropped and broken one.
It's just -- going to the gigantor booze store the week of Christmas is going to be scary. OTOH, I need wine anyway.
Dinner was soft-boiled eggs and a GF bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon. And I want more eggs. They are tasty as hell.
Oh, wait -- I do have one more to-do item: make 7-layer bars (also called Dream Cookie Bars, etc.) -- the ones with condensed milk, chocolate chips, coconut, etc. The regular recipe uses graham crackers, but I found a GF recipe today that subs out the graham crackers for rolled oats. And suddenly they sound like a divine cracky combo of a no-bake cookie and a Samoa Girl Scout cookie. Must. Make. Tonight.

Heh, I have to make those, too, but not until next week. We call them Magic Cookie Bars. I first tasted one in college from a care package that my friend shared with me. They were, in fact, magical. And still are. Maybe I'll make two batches. One to share; one to hoard.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Aren't there GF graham crackers? I'm pretty sure I've seen them in grocery stores.

Magic cookie bars! That's right -- magic; not dream. Although someone somewhere may call them Dream Cookie Bars. I'm very intrigued by making them with oats, though.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I just put 5 loaves of chocolate chip pumpkin bread in the oven. That's right. 5.
