my dad told me (via phone) to go buy myself a cake and eat it all myself. i don't think i'm gonna do that. although, a cake from mozart's sounds delicious, (thanks evebird, for showing me the joys of local bakeries), I'll be eating pumpkin pie instead, for now.

I had to use up an open can of pumpkin and ended up making some pie, and a pumpkin "casserole" because I didn't have enough pie crusts, which used up a couple eggs and some crescent roll dough. I also made chili and soup to use up onion and celery, and cornbread and blueberry muffins to use up some eggs. and, to use up the apples I had, I ended up making a small apple crisp, which I ate ALL of, for lunch yesterday.

So, I'm set for dinner thru Wednesday, whether I like it or not. The chili has one small serving left, which I'll probably throw on top of spaghetti, and then it'll be vegetable soup soup and more soup. (Which, nala wholeheartedly approved of)

Wednesday night, I'm thinking of making a pot roast, which should feed me Thursday and Friday. (Nala is fasting, so no food for him, anyway). Then, Friday, I'm thinking of making a small Giada-stuffing meatloaf to use up the rest of the olives, and mashed potatoes. The leftovers from that, I'll add to some spaghetti and sauce, and have that on Sunday.

Other dishes to make soon:
Turkey Mushroom Stroganoff
Baked chicken ziti
Baked tilapia with scallops over fettuccini with cream sauce.
Sausage chili
Chicken kluski soup
Vegetable soup (again)

That should just about empty the freezer upstairs, and probably feed me till it's time to celebrate Hawk's Mom's birthday.
