Yesterday besides the spaghetti squash lasagna, I made falafel, eggplant rollatini(used the almond ricotta), roasted broccoli, cole slaw, sweet and yukon potato latkes, and creamy broccoli "cheese" soup. It was a successful cooking day. So, no cooking today, or will it be? Picky eaters.:banghead: You have kids that eat too much and everything, and I have the opposite. :banghead:
I'd still swap;) I bet most of your batches aren't made in 8 and 12 quart cooking vessels;)

So Saturday, we wanted to go pumpkin picking. We went to a Mennonite run garden center because they usually sell baked goods that the kids enjoy. We got there about 1:30/2pm. They had a small display of pumpkins and no baked goods, Apparently we were late to the pumpkin picking party. Well, we took the drive and decided to go into their greenhouses. They did have some amazingly huge mums for only $6.99. They were 3 times the size of what the supermarket was selling for $4.99, so we bought 3. We also bought a pretty daisy plant, which we have since put in our house. Well, then I suggested going to a farm where youngest's cheer team and the other teams are going for a team bonding experience. When we got their it was packed. No room to park, and the fields were muddy looking. For this place they had no pre-picked pumpkins you could choose from. You had to pay for a wagon ride in order to go into the field and get your own. That is normally fun, but not when it had been raining every other day for months. So, then we decided to go to a farm we had gone to 2 years ago that had had loads of pre-picked pumpkins and local goods. It was 30 minutes from where we were. We got there and unbelievably there was an auction sign on the property! The farm had gone out of business!:( We ended up going to a Mennonite grocery store/ garden center that we had passed on the way. They had plenty of pumpkins and lots of local baked/ cooked items. We got there at 3:50pm. They closed at 4. Dh was like, "It is really carpy to show up to a store right when they want to close". I agreed, but after driving for almost 2 and half hours for some stupid pumpkins, I said that I didn't care and we would be quick, which we were. So, I considered that a very wasted afternoon that I will never get back.:rolleyes:

I guess I should start thinking about pumpkins. And putting up Halloween decorations.

That's horrible! we were planning on going but with all the rain and everybody's crazy schedule it's not going to happen this year. I'll just get some at the farm market.

Agree, most of the time someone else will cluing them in. I had my entire childhood destroyed by a guy who felt he was the great crap and how he "found dad was hiding the toys in the kitchen's storage area" very proudly. He did it even infront of little children.. (he was a gigantic dbag as he grew on lol)
Yeah...I was the kid who told everyone Santa wasn't real. My parents didn't do Santa, so of course, when kids would come to me and be like "Look what I got from Santa!" I was like, "Yeah, that's your parents." I don't think I went out of my way to tell kids Santa wasn't real, but I've always had a low tolerance for what I perceived as stupidity, so....not much has changed. :hilarious:

Note: I was about kindergarten when I did this, and my mom told me I had to stop. I don't think anyone believed me and they figured it out themselves much later on.
