1. Barley Minestrone and hard rolls. Eating light as I have a community choir concert tonight

in conjunction with the local Autumn Leaf Festival . We are doing the same concert as our Mother's Day concert, with the exception of the song Autumn Leaves (of course!). Then it is back to practicing Christmas music.

2. that sounds like fun

My auntie, who is in senior living, sings in a choir. It does so much for her spirits! And have you heard about the book written by a woman who tells of the positive benefits of being in a choir? If not, I'll look it up for you and post back.

I'll be making vegetable lasagna for tonight's dinner. I'm fooling around off and on in the kitchen all day as I do a little of that, a little work outside, and a little paper grading and organizing for the week ahead. Fabulous weather in Jersey.

My lasagna has goat's cheese, eggplant, and zucchini in it.

Already today I made a big pot of pumpkin spice tea. I put cream and a little agave in it. So wonderful. Next up will be lemon balm, probably the last of the season from fresh lemon balm.

Spicy hummus. Been working on that this a.m., too. Made the beans from dried, though the recipe said canned. Hate to use canned beans.

But now I have to go find LOLcats thread. Sunday isn't Sunday without my cat laughs.

Please post the name of that book!

19. I haven't heard of the book but would love to read it. Please post when you have time

Your lasagna sounds wonderful . The pumpkin spice tea.....wow!

I'm not crazy about using canned beans either, but the garbanzos seem to take forever to cook!

The concert was great. We had a bigger turnout than I thought, since there was a Steelers game on at the same time. Sadly, we didn't miss much of that performance!! We always have a sing along with the audience for a few old songs, so that's nice to hear the audience sing to us .

3. I've been craving cabbage

so I have a pot of it on the stove with some hardwood thick cut bacon in it, too.

4. Have a taste for fish 'n chips. Cool, damp and breezy here today. F&C's would fit.

Plus, I love it and haven't had a plate for a while. So I'm sold.

6. Change up - went for Thai shumai and Jasmine rice.

6 steamed shrimp and crab wonton dumplings with garlic, ginger, green onion, lemon grass. Spicy fish/soy sauce for a dip. Steamed rice.

Just right.

13. That's always yummy!

15. P.S.

I love fish and chips with heavy doses of malt vinegar and a shade of ketchup for the chips!

Either going to order it or maybe her husband will make it.

Her husband did make the pizza! Literally the best I've ever eaten.

7. Well, I was supposed to host a dinner party but most everyone has bailed.

Island time - it happens all the time.

I think there will be friends dropping by for wine and snacks off and on. I've got cheese, crackers, half an apple and some pepperoni. If anyone sticks around for dinner, I've got a couple pork chops and can make caccio e pepe.

Reminds me! I need to put some white wine in the fridge!

Hope everyone has a nice Sunday evening.

A variation of stuffed green peppers with hopefully a little more zing.

16. I did a Galantine of chicken stuffed with...

Spinach, mushrooms, sausage and cheese. I roasted it and had it warm which is not traditional, but it was yum.

[grasswire]

17. fried green tomatoes, ribs, potato patties...

....made of leftover mashed redskins with sour cream, fresh dill, and a dab of horseradish.

Perfectly ripe Bartlett pear for dessert.

18. I made a homemade nacho bar for myself, my mom and grandmother.

Chips, ground turkey, chili beans, chopped black olives, onions, tomatoes and cheese.

Idea hit me right in the grocery store that morning and had me scrambling to get the ingredients. Everyone here liked it, so I call it a success.
