1. White pizza. Making one plain for the kidlet, topping another one with

canned jalapenos. Maybe a chopped tomato salad.

I bought the biggest butternut squash I've ever seen today. I'm gonna have to think about what to do with it.

2. making Chili. it is rainy and nasty still a little warm (60's)

but rice and Chili. nice and simple.

6. Chicken stir fry.

I've 2/3 of the supermarket broiled chicken that needs to diced and sliced. Leftover curried rice. Plenty of veggies for a good stir fry. And a bit of macadamia oil.

Sounds good to me, as long as I do the prep well and get a hot pan going for a quick stir.

I tend to go too cool and too slow.

7. Cauliflower & carrot soup and fresh homemade bread.

The second loaf worked as well as the first.

8. The last of my Grecian chicken.

Sliced tomato, I guess. I really want a salad, but the lettuce turned brown on me.

9. I buy Romaine, like the solid crunch. And sit it standing in a jar w/ a bit of water, in the fridge.

All I do is rinse it, lightly trim the bottom. Keeps fresh for a while that way. Also, I always check the cut edge from the market selections to look for the freshest harvest. Green - good. Brown or dried out - pass. Same with asparagus.

10. I buy romaine, too.

This is maybe three weeks old, though, since I've been eating tomatoes. Even romaine has a limited freshness window

[pinto]

11. Yeah, 3 weeks is a stretch.

12. I'll get some new tomorrow.

13. Try out the "cut flower" approach in the fridge. The plant is still viable. I've had some root.

Especially if the cut leaves a good bit of base below the core.

Have you all dried out from the recent run of storms?

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. I pretty much do that already.

Cut from the bottom up as I use it. This was just yucky, brown from the core up and mooshy.

There was some flooding in my town, according to a Facebook group on the local rainwater problems. Someone mentioned people kayaking down the street a couple of blocks from where I live. It was fine where I was. Town's storm sewers are old and not big enough to accommodate heavy storms anymore. Most of the housing stock is old so not a case of recent development taking away open land. Also, the western border is a river that tends to overflow a short distance downstream, though the banks here tend to be high enough to avoid that.

20. I like red leaf lettuce

If you wrap it with paper toweling, it lasts for a long time.

[cbayer]

14. Hmm.... I dunno.

I've got some cheddar wurst, but it's those little ones.

They might be good with some beans or something.

Weather is bad again and I am totally uninspired.

16. Lemon-garlic grilled chicken

Brown rice pilaf.

Mesclun salad with orange-pecan vinaigrette.

Dessert: Coconut cream pie with rice pudding on top.

19. Navaho Taco

At the Cameron Trading Post, Cameron, AZ

If you've ever had one, you know.

If you ever stop there, get one. But get the 'mini' taco unless you're starving.
