Failure to write – Deb's Lunch

I had all the best intention to write sooner this time, but the best of intentions in Scottish, Robert Burns I think, “gang aft agley”.

So now I think I have to try to remember my thoughts since November 5th. Good memory exercise.

And oh, oops, even before November 5, all the way back to Halloween, John & Megan celebrated a year of home ownership on Halloween.

Back in Madison, we had eggs and potatoes for breakfast on the firsat Sunday of November. Here’s the potatoes raw

And cooked

I tried to start a “leftover vegetables for lunch” series. Here’s part 1, Caesar roasted broccoli and some of those breakfast potatoes, followed by part 2, carrots and purple cauliflower. I thought part 2 might be some miso-glazed turnips I made in between, but they got kind of watery leftover. I ate most of them cold one night while I was cooking dinner.

I played around a little more with the savory kolache dough (HT Bronwen Wyatt), shaping them into pinwheels. It wasn’t a good test, though, because I used a different pesto, dill & arugula instead of parsley, and I didn’t have enough squash filling really. But they were tasty. And I made half the dough into cimmy buns that were also pretty good. The filling:dough ratio wasn’t quite right, but they were good.

John & Megan are moving to the vegan side of vegetarianism, eating less dairy, so I made a batch of squash mac&cheese, that still has some cheese but way less them regular. I discovered I’d had the reduced-fat variant in my regular mac&cheese recipe for years.
