This is the third week of trying to live on actual food rather than cheap frozen entrees. Here's this week's haul of vegetables; three kinds of summer and two kinds of winter squash, two peppers, and an eggplant! The winter squash and eggplant come with cooking suggestions, and the eggplant is surprisingly light for its bulk, or I wouldn't have dared.

I recognize this pattern in myself, actually; once I get interested in something, I start collecting one of everything, without any particular idea what I'm going to do with them all. It was the same when I started crocheting.

Also in this week's shopping bags: half a pound of salmon, half a pound of cheese, half a dozen eggs, a packet of cereal and a pint of milk; little containers of powdered paprika and oregano; a big bag of frozen chicken bits; three pears and a couple of apples; a bag of baby potatoes. There were supposed to be bananas too, but I forgot.

Oh, and a single-serve cheesecake, plain, which I will top with a spoonful of thawed-out mixed berries.


Now I should go an degrunge the kitchen ...
