Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Those both sound good - do you have something else to do with the kale if you don't do the bake?

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?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

so I think I'm okay to sit on the couch for a little while and veg.

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.

I eat lots of frozen food!

...oh wait, you mean food *I* made that's frozen? No.

Still impressive Jesse. And shrift.

Ugh. My girl. She remembers a ginormous homework project tonight that's due tomorrow. It was assigned Thursday. She remembers it tonight. I guess I'm glad she remembered it at 5 o'clock and not 9 o'clock, but oy! So much for getting to bed early.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I went to make my usual rice and quinoa mix for my lunches this week, only to find I have less then half a cup of rice and no quinoa. Not quite sure what I'm going to do for lunch tomorrow. If it had been earlier in the day, I might have gone back to the grocery store, but it was late and I just threw up my hands.

Guess I'm hitting the grocery store tomorrow.
