So, for freezing purposes, should I make butternut/black bean enchiladas, or a butternut/kale pasta bake?

I've made bean-less butternut squash enchiladas, and they freeze and reheat well. But lasagna freezes and reheats well, too (which is my comparison food for the pasta bake), so...basically, I'm no help.

Yeah, I know, I just don't feel like he's going there right now. But that could, of course, be wishful thinking.

Those both sound good - do you have something else to do with the kale if you don't do the bake? That would be the deciding factor for me, I think, what will keep if you don't use it.

I got kissed by a sea lion. It was fishy, yet adorable.

WOO HOO, vacation!

I'm flying to Canada tomorrow, so I'm cooking up a bunch of things to freeze. I'm making beet pesto right now and need to find something to do with the zucchini. I may try out the cauliflower tots recipe tonight for dinner, too.

I also need to do laundry and pack and schedule transportation to the airport. But I'm checked in, I know where my passport is, I picked up a birthday present for my brother, and I remembered to refill my prescriptions, so I think I'm okay to sit on the couch for a little while and veg.

I want ToeDad to die in a fire, but unfortunately DoA is realistic (unlike his other strips).

Unrelatedly, oh god I need to stop coughing. Robitussin, you are so disappointing.

Kale tends to get kind of chewy if you freeze it.

I have a crapload of kale (maybe some of it is chard?), and also plans to make a kale/quinoa thing for more immediate eating. I think I can make the pasta without shopping, so that might win by default.

It will be cooked both before and after freezing, so that sounds OK?

Ah, yes, the thing that doesn't require shopping has a big advantage.

Anything understated.

I'm not really good at understated, is, I think, the root of my difficulty. But I really like this skirt.

Sounds like it to me. Woohoo, Canada!

I am so impressed by you folk who make food expressly to freeze it. I make food, we eat food, and the next day the cycle continues. Sometimes there are leftovers that get made into another dinner.

I can't deal with cooking after work at all, and also cooking for just one is not the best. So I have to have food I can just eat. Which is either like chips or in the freezer.
