Well my cold progresses, but at least I work from home today. Got my lectures prepped for tomorrow, checked my e-mail and will do Septembers finances after posting.
Maybe my reward will be watching Dr. Phil...better be a good one today!!
Well the meatballs are made, the sauces have been cooking for two hours, the red peppers are ready to grill...I have 10 minutes to spare..
Hey! All you who were envious of the hot spell we had up here in August??? IT'S SNOWING OUT!!!
The ground was covered with snow this morning, it melted and then twice again it's poured down, this most recent gale coming in at a weird angle and a mix of snow/rain/ice...good thing I grabbed my herbs (parsely, oregano, basil) earlier. Can't believe the parsely and oregano are doing fine! (basil not so much).
Had a very busy day, school work, Sept's finances, and then started in on the sauce. I decided to not only do my zucchini red sauce (yes, zuch's from the garden too ) but also the whole BIG load of traditional red sauce that I need for my much beloved 6-cheese stuffed jumbo pasta shells. It's a Thanksgiving MUST!
And no, I'm not THAT crazy...Thanksgiving here is in less than two weeks, Oct 15th. Ours is always on a Monday...hence a long weekend to prepare! Tell me something my U.S. pals, why is Thanksgiving so late for you? It's sooo close to Christmas!
Well given my weather report today, you KNOW why ours is so early....winter's around the corner.
But as for yours....why is it on a Thursday??? Do you all have to work on the Friday??
Just curious!
Did up 55 large meatballs too (does anyone else put freshly grated parmesan in theirs?)...always nice to have those banked in the freezer for those days when we're too wiped to cook.
Can you tell I haven't eaten since breakfast at 11:00 and the smell in here is DIVINE?
Okay, gotta go stir!

P.S. rolling perfect meatballs CAN be used as a meditation!
Yuck! I am not into winter. I only like snow for Christmas and then I want spring.
Do not expect to see me before next year! Not getting on a plane to fly through sleet. Not EVEN for a 94 Mondavi Cab! David might as he is the red fan!
Did you tell us what wine was going to go with this wonderful dinner you are cooking? No, you didn't! I read your post before going for my crazy drive last night.
I hope I did not spoil your evening and it was very nice.
THANK YOU again. You guys have no idea what you all mean to me or how truly sorry I am.

Ha ha ha...YES grapes grow in Canada...the kinds that make wine usually hale from Southern Ontario or British Columbia. Although our neighbour has a nice vine of grapes that grow over our fence and onto our deck. They've all been frost bit now.
Yes we do...although I'm not that big on the stuff... a tad too sweet for me, and very pricey!
Hi Pam...You being nice to yourself for a change????
Okay, made most of my rounds and now my arm is going numb. Time to read for a while...my new book on destructive emotions based on studies with the Dahli Llama sounds about right.
We just need to have her fixed and he'd be quite willing...
