            For dinner on Tuesday, I made Turkey-Zucchini Loaf with Peach Dijon Mustard Glaze. I also cooked some farro in broth from the freezer, which I mixed with red bell pepper and sliced mushrooms sauteed in grapeseed oil. We had microwaved green beans as well. For this dinner, the red bell pepper and the green beans came from our garden. We still have a couple of red bell peppers, but this may be the last of the green beans. With the pumpkin snacking cake for dessert, it was the perfect dinner to celebrate the autumnal equinox.

                        On Thursday, I made another batch of tomato sauce (about 3 cups). As I cannot use the 4-qt. Calphalon pan anymore, due to the loss of its anodized coating, I looked around and realized that the 12-inch All-Clad round roaster pan, although not quite as deep, would work. It performed admirably and cleaned up easily. I expect these tomatoes were the last major batch, although some are still ripening on the vine. So far, the weather has allowed them to continue. If we get to where freezing weather is forecast, then we will pick any that remain and ripen them in the house.

                        For Thursday dinner, we had the remaining leftover Turkey-Zucchini Loaf with Peach-Dijon glaze, with one of the Queen squashes from our garden. I halved it lengthwise, lightly rubbed with olive oil, and baked for 40 minutes at 400F in my countertop convection oven. I then turned them over and stuffed them with a combination of bulgur and the leftover farro, mushrooms, and red bell pepper mix. I put a little bit of 2% cheese on top. These baked for an additional 20 minutes at 375F.

                        I realized that with the zucchini in the meat loaf, the Queen squash, and the pumpkin bread at dessert, we ate three kinds of squash this evening.

                          It is supposed to be in the 90's here on Sunday, but the high for next Tuesday is 67 and the low for next Thursday/Friday is around 36. BRRR!

                            Our dinner on Friday night was Salmon and Couscous. I used 1 tsp. dill, ½ tsp. chives, and a bit of salt and pepper as the seasoning. We had fresh microwaved broccoli as well.

                            It was close to 80F today. The wind is blowing now, but it was still this morning, which made for perfect kayaking. It's the first time I've been able to do so since that ankle sprain over five weeks ago. That's because we have to carry the kayak down the stairs to the lake, and that requires both of us. After an intense week, I needed the peace of floating in the kayak.

                              BLTs again tonight! In spite of a couple of light frosts, I still have many, many huge, red, perfectly formed tomatoes; plus tons of paste tomatoes. But I'm tired of making sauce, we have enough, the freezers are full. So this was the last BLT meal.

                                I cooked chicken-n-dressing with giblet gravy,mixed greens,candid sweet potatoes,cranberry sauce,fresh rolls and with half of the dough I made 9 cinnamon rolls.Why wait for Thanksgiving.I had plenty left for another meal and I froze 2 qts. of dressing for later on.

                                BakerAunt I'm glad you're healing up and getting around better.

                                  I agree, Joan! So-called Thanksgiving food is good year around!

                                  On Saturday, I made another batch of yogurt.

                                  Saturday night’s dinner was Tarragon Chicken, Mushrooms, and Rice, a recipe that I adapted from John Waite’s One-Pot Tarragon Chicken, Mushrooms & Rice, which was featured on The Splendid Table website. I replace the basmati rice with a 50-50 mix of brown rice and Lundburg mixed rice, and I scale it so that I can do either six or eight chicken thighs. I found that the rice I use works better if I first bake it for 20 minutes, then add the chicken and roast for an additional 45-50 minutes.
