The squirrels were out Thursday morning to check on the pumpkin seeds. Word has got out.
This is a favorite food and they lost no time in finding and setting up to guard and eat them.
Thursday the misfits insulated bag and ice block went out early, good thing because the delivery came very early shortly after nine am.
I wonder if the drivers didn't get the message, since for years they've been delivering just a box. I reported it and their system must be blinking, because they only credited me with one bunch, instead of both. No doubt they'll fix this. They're good about it.
So, extra canned goods for the food pantry, cranberries for next week's sauce. I'll make it ahead and freeze it, not knowing when we celebrate this year, HS always working Thanksgiving.
Here's the cranberry sauce in progress
Garlic paste because it's so useful everywhere I use garlic. Spinach and parsley for greens, to be added into tofu, see it there, dishes and other things. A bunch dropped into hot soup is good, just wilts it enough.
Apples as usual, blueberries for desserts and maybe muffins this week. Sardines for quick protein sandwiches. Diced tomatoes get in everywhere. One of my easy meals, really more assembly than cooking, is chickpeas and tomatoes heated together with seasoning. It works like a stew, spinach gets in there, too.
Thursday early the car buyer called, wondering if I'd like an earlier appointment, he had cancellations Thursday. But I left it at Friday, not wanting to be rushed. I didn't want to be wrangling groceries and the car sale together.
About anniversaries: I remember none of the dates of death of any relative other than one brother when I was young, and Handsome Partner, because that was also Handsome Son's birthday. I remember everyone's birthday though. I think it's better to remember them then, anyway.
Happy day everyone. It's okay to remember or forget, often it's not our choice.
