Jealous of the chili tot casserole. That sounds yummers.
I seem to have a good half-gallon of butternut squash. I can pretty much make any pumpkin recipe with that, right?
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

Holy shit, Loki just managed to turn on one of the burners and scare the shit out of the both of us.
…crap, I think I'm now going to have to pull off all the knobs out of paranoia. He's NEVER managed to do this before. Some odd confluence of knocking an old glass insulator off the windowsill and the mop handle hitting and maybe him leaping, I don't even know.

Yup! The flavor's a little different, I guess, but still delicious.

Um, yikes. I think I would pull the knobs, too. No, I know I would. Fire or leaking gas, not good.

Oh good lord, Loki, don't do that!
Yeah, I figure, I like squash so it'll be fine as long as I don't expect it to taste like pumpkin. I am hoping I don't get any more at this point, though.
Looks like another long weekend of not really being as productive as I planned. Tired and unmotivated and feeling like petting the 14-year old newly vaccinated cat is the best use of my time...

I bet the 14-year old newly vaccinated cat it totally down with that plan, though.

Goodness. That's some impressive/disturbing Loki-ing.
Today's been cookeriffic. I made nut-free granola as a birthday gift for a nut-allergic friend. It came out really pretty, with bits of apricot, cranberry, and pumpkin seeds adding color, as well as flavor. I made an apple-walnut granola for myself. Now a Persian carrot soup is cooking, and it smells great (there's cinnamon and lemon pepper in it).

She had enough and abandoned me for a better view of the birdfeeders.

I was hoping to get my walls primed today, but I think the plaster is going to take forever to dry. So the question is, totally abandon the project for the day and do my nails? Hmm.

So Pug, the cat that lives with us has disappeared. And there are pug hair puffs all over the front driveway. And he was there at least t 11:00 PM so it's unlikely he is in the garage (and when I checked he seemed not to be in there... but last time we figured out he was there by the cat poop in the clean laundry.)
Hmmmm...
