I didn't get my meatballs made last night, so I might do them today. I'd also like to do a slow-cooker soup.

1. I am about to go buy some Popeye's to take on the train.

I have an overnight trip tonight, and Popeye's sounds pretty darn perfect to me.

2. **Trader Joe alert**beep beep**Trader Joe alert**beep beep

Stopped at TJ's on my way home from the hairdresser. They have the most beautiful Brussels sprout branches for--are you ready for this?--$2.99!! I bought two because I love them and also because they were so fresh and delicious-looking that I couldn't stop myself.

Also, they have large pumpkins for only $3.99 each. That's a good price, at least around here.

I want to put two jack o'lanterns by my back door but I need two columns on which to put them. I'm pondering how I'm going to pull that off before I buy them. I have short columns, but I want tall ones, at least 5" tall.

3. Penne with triple tomato sauce and chevre, a salad and garlic bread

I love Trader Joe's. My nearest one is 100 miles away .

4. Pork chop baked in a panko/parmesan crust.

Baked potato. Corn, I guess.

5. Wife is getting her hair done today sooooo

I am going to have left over Shepherd's pie.
I am so glad we have left overs, do not have to cook.
I do like to cook ... just not when I worked the night before
and have to work tonite.

6. enchiladas verde

Green and gold. It's college football night here. Yippee!

Also some guacamole and chips and salsa verde.

radishes, sungold tomatoes, and lunchbox red bell peppers from the garden.

And a big glass of iced green tea.

8. Now that sounds really good.

I haven't done the Mexican thing in a while, but I'm due. (I kinda maxed out a while back, and needed to take a rest so as to get the hankering again.)

lovetohike had planted a seed of craving in my brain a while back, and now I can't get black bean tostadas out of my head. I think I'll get the fixings next time I go grocery shopping.

7. The end of the sweet and sour pork

Pork and pineapple is a match made on a plate. Yum.

9. night three of my potato soup

still pretty tasty, but i don't know that i can do it tomorrow.

10. You could freeze it. It does suffer a bit, but if you're hungry

and there's nothing else prepared, you might welcome a bowl of it. When you're first re-heating it, it looks dreadful, like a science project but, when it finally starts warming up, it sort of reconstitutes itself into potato soup. I do it all the time now that I've learned it's okay.
