Another LA Times shot from game three.

Great photo!

Gary's ToDo List for Sunday:
1) Mow yards;
2) Clean filters;
3) Make Bread;
4) Make Ice Cream; and
5) Watch World Series.

Is that it? Mostly fun stuff too. It’s 1pm here and I have already...
Taken my mom to church and out for breakfast
Returned a faulty item to Target
Picked up Princess from her sleepover
Cleaned out garage and back yard shed
Grocery shopped dodging lost men wearing Patriots shirts clogging up the aisles looking for the deli meats and good rolls
Time to get comfy to watch the Pats game!

No one EVER needs Jerry Sandusky.

My neighbor had a giant blow up Penn State lawn ornament out the past 2 Saturdays. I want to knock on her door and say “too soon”.

Food and beer? Okay.

There is a beef and barley soup simmering on the stove, and I've been sipping on a very nice pilsner while waiting for football to come on.

We'll be headed over to my parents house later today. My brother and his family will be there, too, so my daughter will get to hang out with my cousin. Hopefully, we'll be home before the worst of the forecasted storm hits. They're forecasting gusts into the 70s here overnight. Fingers crossed that we don't lose power.

I have a Halloween party tonight and not looking forward to the terrible weather. I have to go though since it’s a charity event run by my brother and sister in law. I may use the weather as an excuse to skip dressing up. Maybe I’ll go as an obnoxious Patriots fan. Not a stretch I know...

Yep, be careful up there! The front rolled through here yesterday and we're still getting gusts up to 26 mph today. It's sunny and dry, at least - but a wild day for the wind.

The last of my vegetable-barley soup is being consumed today. I'm looking hard at two recipes now for the next pot of soup. It'll be either roasted butternut squash, or wanton. I keep something in the soup pot pretty much all through winter. Love it that it's finally chilly enough to get going!

6) Plant some peas, tomatoes, cilantro, spinach and stuff Gary purchased last week, but it was too hot for planting.

Tonight's dinner is chicken and dumplings - the first time I've tried making it.

Good luck, Charlie! I’m sure it’ll come out well.

I bought 4 butternut squash today with no plans to actually cook them yet, haha. But on sale for a $1 each...hard to beat!

Thanks; the recipe seems simple enough. If it turns out as good as I'm hoping, it might make it on the Thanksgiving list. I really like going non-traditional like jambalaya, gumbo, or lobster pot pie.

I'm not sure I've had butternut squash - pretty much stick with yellow.

Still, kind of pricey for compost...

Gary has the bread proofing, stuffed with leftover basil and peppers from the Chicken Piccata. On to next task.

Dave never really learned the art of cooking. There will meatloaf and scalloped potatoes later by Sister. I wonder who will pitch for the Stros tonight and IF IT REALLY MATTERS...

Dude it's even, Astros have the best offense in baseball. You guys laugh at Kershaw ...

 

[Gary A.]

Lawns are done.

With the exception that shopping starts 20-25 miles away and MUCH farther for good stuff.... Dave lives in the country and likes it that way. One reason shown below if everything works out.
