Gourmet Meals Make Gourmet Messes

Our RAINY weekend served up some lovely meals and baking. We made: Maple Glazed Parsnips (with crused walnuts), shredded beet salad (featuring carrots and green peppers too), homemade mushroom soup, stuffed squash (2 fillings were made - one with peppery steak, mushrooms, onions and brown rice and another with chickpeas instead of steak), Saskatoon bran scones, whole wheat flax bread with a touch of rye, and apple-rhubarb crisp. Andy made another huge batch of applesauce with the Victorio Food Strainer and also processed a huge pumpkin we were given. Sarah and I went on a small hike around our house on Sat. We hadn't been on the trails since early Sept. cause of bears, but I think they are all hibernating by now :)
Sarah has been getting to bed at around 10pm lately, as bedtimes have been taking usually well over an hour.
Church was nice. Went grocery shopping after and got some chips and bagels and tomatoes to go with the bean dip I'd packed. Did a little detour on the way home to check on the mushroom situation - they are all done growing...and are actually 'melting' now.
This was typed out on Sun. and Mon.
