I guess Saturday was the first day of fall, the Autumnal Equinox. I did a bunch of Fall-ish cooking things, including dealing with my 25 pounds of plum tomatoes that I biked up to the Square and purchased on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
In the freezer, I now have a quart of herbed, chunky tomato sauce, one batch of Marcella’s butter tomato sauce<\/a>, 4 1\/2 cartons of overnight roasted tomatoes, 3 cartons of diced tomatoes, and about one and a half quarts of plain red sauce, for pizza or lasagna, or for adding meat or other stuff into. Rach and I had roasted tomatoes on top of goat cheese on toast for breakfast on Saturday.<\/p>\n I bought apples at the market, and made applesauce.<\/p>\n On Tuesday I helped cook & serve the food pantry brunch at Goodman<\/a>, and some of the potatoes were heart shaped.<\/p>\n On Thursday I assisted Chef Ed at the Eat Smart in Germany Dinner at Vom Fass. I made the apple wine cakes. The author of the book, Mary Bergin<\/a>, took a pic of me when I arrived with the cakes, and I look so old, I decided to supplement with a selfie once I was home in PJs.<\/p>\n On Saturday we went to see Joel Shapiro at MMoCA. Good show, but I especially liked the E for Orpheum that I could see through the window beyond the sculptures.<\/p>\n [portfolio_slideshow pagerpos=”disabled”]<\/p>\n After the art, we went to Lucille and ordered a pizza to go because it was a little too loud and crowded to eat in. The bartender<\/a>, who is a friend of Al’s I think, but I thought was a friend of John’s, to his confusion, treated me to a free beer – I didn’t tip him enough. The pizza was good when we finally got it home. What I would call school cafeteria style – square and thick – or maybe Pittsburgh or Detroit style pizza, but I know the current term is sheet pan pizza.<\/p>\n And I finally folded that basket of laundry that’s been in my room for something like 2 weeks. Good thing it was mostly\u00a0 pajamas and underwear and T-shirts.<\/p>\n
