Hello to everyone from the very Fall like Twin Cities of MN where the front came through today and it’s Cold (yesterday it was 61 at this time, it’s 35 now). It’s also Wife week here for our fantasy football league and the bets are serious: the loser has to take the kids out trick or treating when it will be 30 out. The winner will be providing the hot boozy coffee. Menus are still revolving about what big kiddo can eat one handed to keep her new shortie cast clean. Her insistence at having a meatball sub for lunch one day after getting her new cast was rather entertaining. Actuals and plans for 2 adults and 2 growing girls:
Sun 22: Roasted butternut squash and garlic soup to make a dent in the CSA end of season bounty. I loved the roasted garlic twist on it. The rest of my crowd ate very slowly. https://alexandracooks.com/2023/10/15/roasted-butternut-squash-and-garlic-soup/
Mon 23: Both kiddos skated at the same time. It’s so neat to see them on the ice enjoying it together. Frozen pot pies Costco
Tues 24: Sloppy sloppy Turkey joes on hot dog buns. Peas. assorted random leftover sides. Last CSA pick up for the season
Weds 25: Having a rough day. Very proud of Mr Autumm for making a decision and ordering take out
Thurs 26: Chicken sandwiches ala Tyson frozen, coleslaw, assorted crudités. I was planning gyros but the cucumbers at the store were past their prime and then some
Tonight: Both kiddos skate. Leftovers from Wednesday’s take out
Sat 28: Little kiddo at a friend’s birthday party. Probably turkey larb as she is not a fan of it
Sun 29: Hungarian goulash with dumplings. A mr Autumm request. https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/beef_goulash_with_dumplings/
Mon 30: Both kiddos skate. Probably leftovers/clear out the fridge
Tues 31: A halloween tradition: Meatballs in the crock pot for after trick or treating.
Take care everyone and stay healthy! Just got a text from my brother: he and his wife have COVID. Stupid germs!
