R brought home a large green squash from the farmer's market, which is where he got the delicious canary melon. Best melon I have ever eaten.
What do I do with it? I think it is also called a marrow. I had those stuffed with a meat mixture on the UK years ago.
Leaning towards making a curry with it. I don't think it is one I can eat much of anyway (like 1/4 cup), so I can make it hot for R.
Never heard of it, or a canary melon. But they sound good.
Pizza, ordered out. Busy few days!!
Glad to be back! Tonight - stuffed cabbage. And for dessert, vanilla ice cream with DD’s fig leaf syrup drizzled on top; so good but it’s too cold for frozen dessert.
Sounds like a good dinner!!
Then you realize why we are all getting cancer and stuff.
Last night air fried drumsticks, stuffing, gravy, left over mashed potatoes "fried" to get a crust and topped with some cheese, cabbage fritters n sour cream. R is working outside these days in the cool weather checking fences and relocating horses so he needs good solid food.
I seem to be subsisting mainly on nuts these day. They don't upset my guts. I do eat a few raw veggies as well and some corn/corn products. Whatever works!!!
Time to make more peanut butter cookies. I think I can add cranberries, coconut flakes and more to make some variety and be good for R to take with him for healthy snacks. I make up trail mix and keep the sugar level down.
Do you use a healthy recipe?
I should add I eat a little meat, and legumes. Peanuts are a legume.
I've got a bunch of honey, I didn't know what to do with, hubby doesn't like honey.
But I'm definitely going to do that soon.
Thanks.
Tonight, pizza with out of state, visiting family. Easy to serve; easy to clean up; everyone likes it.
(Peanut butter cookies are my favorite)
Oooh, make baklava!
Friend's mother made gingerbread too. They both were great cooks, but to me grandma's gingerbread was the best. Though I think I still have the recipe, I never tried it when I got back to Canada as the ingredients aren't quite the same here.
My English aunt made wonderful light sponge cakes and I brought the recipe back and tried it, but it didn't work. 😕 It was edible but nothing like her cakes.
Anyone had Icky Sticky Toffee Pudding - smothered in whipped cream and so warming on a cold Aberdeen evening. It's heart attack stuff, but oh, so good!!! Once in a lifetime is enough. 😋
nacy - I'm not a honey fan either. I actually don't like the taste and it's much too sweet.
I think I’ve had a version of the Sticky Toffee Pudding and it was delicious but I would so love to try the real thing. Does it have nuts? Currants? I don’t believe the version I had was spicy, just gooey and dense. Mmmmmm.
My grandma’s pie fillings were her specialty, but her crusts were the butt of many a family joke.

I only had it the once but never forgot it, it was an experience!!!
cw - lemon sauce on gingerbread sounds lovely. We always had hard sauce on Christmas pudding which is so rich, then an aunt-in-law served her Christmas pudding with a lemon sauce and I was sold and used it from then on.
Latterly I made a steamed carrot pudding to serve at Christmas. It was lighter and still very tasty with all the spices,
R and I made a chocolate cake once and added a ground orange - peel and all - large extra amounts of spices and some cayenne. He likes to add cayenne to everything. It was awesome.
The orange idea came from a recipe I made as a teen of an orange and raisin cake where the orange was a ground up orange, peel and all. It was so moist and tasty.
psue - pie crusts. I used to make a good one but haven't made a pie in years with my gluten allergy. There's a Norwegian dessert with a short crust and almonds I may try with substitutes one day. Though she did make that dessert, Mother never made pies or bread so I had to learn on my own. Lots of fun!🥧
Maybe will get another pandemic and I can do that again lol
My friend stopped in the other day, I was doing something, odd to her. She said next time she comes, I'll be churning butter. 😂
One year, I didn't get them for my kids, I just figured they were older now, well I didn't hear the end of it. 😂
Shepherds Pie. All made and in the fridge to put in the oven latter. I did cheat and used instant potatoes.
Oh and hahaha , the bunny cake, was supposed to say Bundt cake.
i loooove thanksgiving!!
🥰🥰🥰
I love Shepherd’s pie. Haven’t made it in years. A girlfriend brought us one from Costco after one of DH’s heart incidents. It was really good but it took a week to get through it!
Back when we were dating DH hosted Thanksgiving family dinner and did an Asian inspired turkey stuffing. It wasn’t bad but he was blacklisted from hosting thereafter. (Maybe that was his plan all along!)
Golden - THANK YOU for that recipe link! I vow to try it this season and report back. Just the name Icky Sticky Toffee Pudding sounds like something I’ve been waiting my whole life for!
On average, we get about 150 kids, after I heard the weather, I went and got more candy.
what i love about thanksgiving is the "thanks". of course, we have all year to give thanks for various things, but i like that there's 1 day in the year dedicated to that.
I let hubby stay home, no reason for us both to suffer, I'm to busy cooking and cleaning up to see him, and he knows mom doesn't like him. Lol Actually my ex goes also, sence him and my brother friends , but my hubby and ex are pretty much friends.
Anyways, step son the lives upstairs goes to his family on his mom side, so on Saturday I usually cook are Thanksgiving, for the 3 of us.
It seems to be for me a day to get through, other than having my kids under one roof at the same time, I wouldnt go.
Usually I make lasagna for home the day before, for me in hubby, for Thanksgiving supper.
bundle - a fave here too. Giving thanks daily helps the mood!
nacy - it's sad when a holiday becomes more of a chore than anything else. I remember those days. I've made some changes.
No Halloween here thankfully. I did it for years then the neighbourhood kids grew up and the numbers dwindled.
The other day I made the marrow curry and it was surprisingly good. R loves hot food. I added some chick peas (lentils would have been good too) to up the protein for a more complete meal. He had it with Naan bread and was impressed.
Last night we went to the dinner theatre for a Nashville show. The roast beef was the best I have had anywhere. Everything else was good too as usual and they even had a gluten and dairy free dessert! Nashville is not my most fave music but the show was good and the evening was a treat.
Tonight pan fried salmon and sauteed romaine lettuce. No sure what else.
We volunteer with a giant dog rescue and currently have two sweeties on borrowed time. We aren’t comfortable entertaining indoors (what they do to our floors is very scary) until they’re gone. Plus one stresses in crowds. But I am already planning our next ghastly good time!
