Pumpkins have been on my mind. If tomorrow turns out to be a fall day, maybe I'll roast my sugar pumpkin and make the first pumpkin pie for the year! Wouldn't that go awesome with Sunday football?
This past week has been a food rollercoaster. Up's and downs everywhere! From having venison chili, to KFC (eeek!), to fried chicken topped with peach salsa, wild rice pilaf - crap that reminds me I'm almost out of pure wild rice. Suppose I'll need a trip to the Food Co-Op. For breads I've had KFC biscuits, a different recipe for cornbread due to being out of whip cream, to cheesy, buttery drop biscuits that we never get enough of. I made those twice this week, Mark loves them and Mia likes them too because her and her daddy drizzle honey on top.
I fought the fastest head cold in history yesturday and I'm thrilled to have surpassed a week's worth of being sick. I was all ready to make a pot of chicken noodle soup and get all doped up on cold medicines just to get through my day. Now I really get to enjoy the ideal weather. No direct sun, LOTS of heat, and warm wind. Made me in the mood to grill, have a beer or, Kahlua. Maybe wrap jalapenos with bacon after stuffing them with cream cheese. Definitly Kahlua!
Speaking of food, if I roast my sugar pumpkin first thing - I forgot it has to sit in the fridge for a while before you mix it with the rest of the ingredients. I don't think I'll have enough time to make it for football. Pie on Monday, anyone?
I'm going to go enjoy a guilty pleasure right now. Dr. Pepper.
