I just got out my fall cook books and started looking at recipes and planning menus. Today I am going to work on a large grocery list and will go shopping this week for the pantry items I will be needing.

@Pooky1I simply don't know what you do with all the food. What your MIL made for one meal, I would feed my family for a week. She must really love to cook.

Tonight I have made Baked Ziti and a tossed salad . It is a little bit chilly today. Only a short time till we get out fall/winter cooking.

keybra.i know its alot of and we tell her all the time stop cooking all that . but she does have alot of leftovers and she really wont cook to much all week and eats leftovers. we eat down stairs only on weekends and today she put leftovers on table plus she made a big pan of stuffed shells and fresh tomato salad from garden and swiss chard and fresh tomatos cooked together. i found what you wrote funny about all the food. when i first started coming to her moms house like 22 years ago i was allso surprized at a full table of food.

Thanks much Pooky1 - you are moving pretty darn fast and that is good. Is is so miserable here in Sou Cal where I live - air so thick you cannot breathe and about 103 - may be hotter I am not sure but it sure is miserable.

Tonight will be a sandwich with some fried White Squash I cooked last night - sure like that stuff. NO using a stove today.

Hope all had a great day and thanks again Pooky1

Thanks for responding @Pooky1 . But I wasn't seeking tips for making great meatballs for me but just thought your input could help the poster who was asking for help. Since reading her post, she has gotten additional replies so I'm sure she will make the best meatballs at her family reunion contest!

All the farmers are harvesting now so fresh veges are abundant. I just bought green peppers to stuff, tomatoes for my tomato salad, corn I removed from the cob and saved for the holidays. I love this time of the year when fresh veges and fruit are soooo bountiful!

@Pooky1 It sure makes sense to cook once for the week. If I ate alone during the week I

would do th same. Sounds like no dishes or anything all week. I could live with that.

it is kind of a rainy day today. No cookout so I think I will make Chicken Pot Pie with a chocolate cake for back to school.

Keybra — Tue, 03 Sep 2019 11:38:33 GMT

So today is my first day of getting on the school schedule. Making a huge breakfast with pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage and home fries and left over chocolate cake for desert.

(LOL they are going to love desert .We never have it for breakfast.) Getting every thing ready for school tomorrow , going out for an early dinner and then tomorrow it starts!

The weather experts tell us today will be yet another day of misery with high heat and lots of humidity. I chuckle a bit as when I moved to Sou Cal in the early 60s, you NEVER heard a weather person mention the word humidity out here. Times have changed. It took them several years after humidity came running in to talk about it but they sure do now. It is somewhat like Palm Springs you never use to see an outside thermometer. Do not know if they finally have them anywhere but you NEVER saw one for years. I worked there a lot of years and it was kind of funny to me. Yep, it is hot in Palm Springs and sadly enough even there humidity is hovering around. Sad how the weather has changed from just plain hot to misery heat.

I ate another white squash sandwich last night with a yummy fresh peach. Tonight I have no clue as I have enough squash left for another sandwich but do not believe I want another dinner of it right now. LOL

Hope all have a great day.

@hellie jo I love Mexican food but the only one that is around here is one that Gordon Ramsey came to town and got rid of rats, cockroaches, moldy food , a kitchen that was FILTHY. I never went their in the first place but after he came would never darken their door. What we saw on tv made us gag.

@hellie jo I am so sorry for writing that about the restaurant. Can I be any more insensitive? You and your DH had a great meal and I wish it had been me. Please forgive me !

It's still hot and humid in my area, so I'm still not cooking much, although I made some taco soup in the crock pot last weekend. My favorite is still sliced fresh tomatoes and mayo on toasted white bread. If I have some bacon and lettuce, that's a good thing. If I don't, then just tomatoes and mayo is fine with DH and me! I'm not a gourmet cook! I'll get some fresh sweet corn this week and more fresh tomatoes...maybe grill some brats. I'd just like some cooler weather.
