CSA pickup tomorrow, apple picking on Sunday. It's a produce-filled weekend.
All I know is that I'm making pie. Maybe two, if the new pastry goes well, one for work. Next week I might even move on from apple! I've only ever made apple (and the odd pumpkin, but bleh) pie.
Wow. Right now, a gawker article about depression with no deniers in the comments: [link]
Burrell, so glad to hear the good news about your sister. That's a hell of an emotional rollercoaster; take care of yourself, too, please.
Grades~ma for the kids. Math was extraordinarily difficult for me as a kid; I wish I had a math brain like Noah's!
Strix, FFS, your friend, really?! Go you for getting pissed off and active instead of curling up in a corner. Can you bottle that? I could use some.
~ma for everybody. Times is hard and made harder by our ridiculous Congress. I know so many people being hurt by this stupid shutdown; the callousness and pointlessness of it all makes me so angry.
Oh yeah, I'm going to make a pumpkin bread, and cook lots of other vegetables as well. What do we think about roasting and then freezing root veg? I could re-heat in a hot oven and they would come out OK, right?
Umm, pie. Maybe I will cook this weekend too. After I clean up my sty.
I'm gonna work on cleaning up my sty this weekend. Some progress is better than no progress, right? I'd like to do something fun. Maybe I'll go on a long drive somewhere I haven't been before.
Jesse, I have no idea what veg you have, but I thought it was as good a time as any to re-mention the vegetable stock recipe here bon bon "Natter 63: Life after PuppyCam" Apr 12, 2009 8:14:50 pm PDT that I prefer to most meat stocks I've made.
I don't think I can leave the house in the next hour. But just as I was about to ditch my pain psych (her approach to feeling good (hope and superiority) doesn't really jibe with me) I vented to her about frustrating medical care, and she is going to call my pain doc and tell him my pain is real and ask what he's going to do about it. Which is...earning her keep, since I have an appointment with him Tuesday and the epidural thingummy has well worn off.
Anyone tried self-hypnisis for changing their responses to stress and pain stimulation?
I have white and sweet potatoes, kohlrabi, onions, carrots (but no celery, mushrooms, or parsnips) -- maybe I will do some stock.
Added WTF of the day....snow. SNOW.
