I made salmon patties for dinner on Sunday, which we had on the rolls I baked, along with a slice of the large, delicious Dester Indiana tomatoes. We also finished the last of the pasta-vegetable salad.

I purchased some Rana butternut raviolis filled with caramelized onion. I cooked the raviolis per the directions and served them topped with Gazebo dressing and cubed leftover chicken. The raviolis have more squash than onion in them and you didn't need many to feel full. Now I have to figure out what to do with the rest of them since they were a Costco 2 pack. Note to self: don't buy something just because it's on sale!

Navlys - you can freeze the raviolis and then take out how ever many you want to cook. That's what Will and I do with the large bags of Rana when they are on sale.

Tonight I have Stouffer's Swedish meatballs with a shredded carrot salad. I just got home from Chicago and that's all I had in the house.

Len, I really enjoyed your city and had a great time with Will. It's great to see him in his element.

I had leftover sausage, coleslaw and baked potato.

CWC I'm glad you enjoyed your trip with Will!

Tonight, as last night, we had salmon patties on buns with slices of tomato on top. Yesterday, we had more broccoli with dinner, but tonight we had peas. I've been having some digestive upset, so I have not felt much like cooking or baking. I did tackle some tomatoes and made sauce to freeze.

Glad to hear that you had a good trip, CWCdesign.

For dinner on Thursday, I made black-eyed peas with rice, ham, and vegetables. I used ham from the freezer and kale that I bought at the farmers market a week and a half ago. This dinner tells me that it is indeed autumn, and we have been having temperatures in the low forties overnight for the last couple of days.

Today, the crew arrived to start the installation of our solar panels. We are having them put on our shed, because it is the only spot where there is enough direct sunlight throughout the year. Given how electrical prices are increasing, we decided to take advantage of the tax incentive that will cease to exist after December 31.
