Oh, yeah, I understand that. The 'I could have done that thing after all but I decided not to and now it would be a hassle" feeling is pretty irritating.
The muffins are very tasty but look, um, not good and are kind of problematic as finger food. This recipe will definitely need refining before it is fit to serve to company. Possibly going mini rather than jumbo would help. But I think the principle is sound - I enjoy the flavor profile, to throw around a term I don't really understand. But meanwhile I have a week's worth of breakfasts in the fridge, so that's a win.
Have I started my Science and Cooking class yet? No, no I have not. Oh, self.
ETA: I support your reasoning re: the fire alarm, Jesse. And having a stash of leeks in the freezer is so smart! My pork stew from yesterday called for leeks and while it's fine without them, it would be better if I had had some frozen to toss in.
Oh hey, did anyone post here that Marcia Wallace died? Sad.

I kept trading for them at the CSA, for this very reason. There's no saving lettuce for next year, you know? Anyone have any bright ideas of ways to freeze broccoli, other than blanched and in a chicken/pasta casserole?

Me neither. And doesn't look I'll have any time to in the next couple of weeks either. boo, me.
W/R/T Atomic Nashville, some folks down there approached Atomic here about opening a sort of a branch down there (citing the lack of independent bookstores, Kate). I'm not sure of all the details--how closely coupled they will be businesswise--but I think they are using the name and philosophy/style of the original which should mean good times for Nashvillian book lovers!
We are listening to H'ween mix and Bob just made pancakes and bacon. I'm working on notes from the Ride for the Feast 2014 committee meeting last week. Nice Sunday! I do have to do something about my ridiculous clothing/closet room situation today. At least I need to start the summer to fall/winter clothing transition. The situation is getting to be UNTENABLE!
Roasted?
That is sad about Marcia Wallace. Also, she was very close to my mom's age, that always makes me a little anxious.

I made this really delicious broccoli cheese soup yesterday that should freeze well!

You actually could freeze it before putting the cheese in and then melt the cheese into it when you reheat, probably.
Sorry I missed your birthdays Brenda and Fiona. Hope they were happy ones!
Mm, that soup sounds good. Clipped!
I still have kale and pumpkin to deal with, but I think they can both wait at least a couple of days. And the pumpkins are decorative, meanwhile.
My head of broccoli was smallish so I roasted like a cup of cauliflower and a little kohlrabi along with and the soup came out thick and creamy! I think you could even leave out the cheese, really, if you wanted something totally vegan.
