1. Meatless Monday

And this will be the last of my pseudo Asian meals for awhile.
Veggie dumplings in stock with tofu cubes, hot decafe tea.

2. Quiche...

with sliced baby bellas, chopped sweet onion, chopped frozen spinach, feta and extra sharp cheddar cheeses, crumbled bacon on top after baking.

A friend gave us two big butternut squash from her dad's garden, so roasting one of those to go with, serve with butter and crumbled bleu cheese.

Coffee and water, water, water!

Scratch the squash. Cut it vertically down the center, and the bulbous ends of both had mold in with the seeds and strings. Out into the compost they went. So bummed. Gonna check the freezer for Brussels sprouts instead.

5. Gravy

Not really. I did make some gravy from the drippings from yesterdays chicken. No plans to eat it tonight.

We ate a frozen pizza with a cheese filled crust this afternoon. No room for dinner.

Perhaps some fruit later.

6. Love chopped fresh basil!

I am making Tom Kha yet again.

Have Kaffir lime leaf left and a chunk of ginger and a six pack of coconut milk! Lol. I am hooked on this simple soup.

I didn’t have a lot of veg so onion, ginger, and garlic are the bits. Otherwise… seasonings, organic chicken broth and coconut milk. No fresh Thai chilis but making due with siracha and red pepper flakes.

8. Chicken nuggets and tator tots...traditional meal on Halloween!

We have diet rite soda and lots of candy...last year I ran out...so far five kids this year! If I have this candy leftover...I will gain 30 lbs!

[Luciferous]

13. See if you can donate your leftover candy? I know there are programs out there that take the candy

and send it to troops.

[Demsrule86]

14. That is a great idea...but the hoards can a knockin and I have a half bowl of candy left...they came

on foot, in cars, and on bikes! And we gave away most of the candy...just enough left for some snacking for a day or so...last year I ran out. I was worried it might rain but the rain held off. The kids were so cute.

[Luciferous]

16. Well I'm glad you managed to get rid

if it. We ended up running out, but by that time there was only 30 minutes of trick or treating left. This is a new neighborhood for us, so I'll know next year to buy a little more.

[Demsrule86]

17. I ran out last year too.

[Backseat Driver]

10. Our tradition:

Butternut squash soup and slow cooked kielbasi

[Demsrule86]

15. I love butternut squash soup with cinnamon, nutmeg and a bit of fresh ginger...we finish it with

a little heavy cream...we always called it New England squash soup or bisque...

[MissMillie]

11. pizza

Dad had cheese tortellini with tomato sauce and Italian sausage.

12. We also had spaghetti. Halloween candy for dessert.
