Have a couple loads of laundry to do and they will go on the line. <br /><br />Your chili looks yummy on top of the pasta shells. Years ago my go-to chili recipe was Cincinnati chili (which is like Skyline, except better). It was always served on top of pasta with chopped onions and cheese on top. Everybody has their own special recipe for chili. The Urban Farmer's mother made hers with tomato juice and it was very "watery". He prefers his without pasta and I love some sort of pasta with chili. <br /><br />The Urban Farmer made a taco soup that turned out to be a stoup! He prefers soup to be soup so we had it on baked potatoes yesterday. I hard cooked eggs and made deviled eggs for the company my daughter was having over for late lunch. She called last evening and said the boys ate every single one. I should have made them a wacky cake with chocolate frosting. I bet they would have cleaned it up too. <br /><br />We are just now getting around to breakfast. Poached eggs with hash browns sound good. The Urban Farmer made a multi-grain sourdough bread and it makes really good toast. <br /><br />Enjoy your day. I enjoy visiting with you!<br /><br />The squirrel story was funny! Real life science lesson.<br /><br />Going to make some chicken salad to scoop on top of a green salad. <br /> Have some eggs left so I'll prepare those for us.

I found my elementary age children all lined up at the big bay window in our kitchen watching as she entertained every male in the neighborhood on our deck railing. 'Mommy, what is that squirrel doing?' Ahem.....let's get back to your school work kids! (Now that you have had a science lesson.) Hubby finally had to do away with her as this was a daily occurrence for awhile.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-32792572567684934042020-11-08T17:27:42.304-05:002020-11-08T17:27:42.304-05:00I foraged a rucksack full of windfall apples while...I foraged a rucksack full of windfall apples while out on my walk yesterday. Made baked apple pancakes for pudding yesterday, apple scones this morning then sat and prepped most of the rest and they are in the slow cooker overnight. Am hoping to make apple butter which will be a first. Your meals sound good. I love the fat squirrel.

It's to stay like this for the next few days so everyone is out walking and hitting the few patios that are still open. The Fall colours are also still gorgeous - it has been a spectacular Fall.<br /><br />I haven't done a big shop this week, just some milk, bread and a bit of fruit & veg. My big treat for the week was making it to the St. Lawrence Market on Friday where I bought some of my favourite cheese - a Gouda with chestnuts & mushrooms and then a new one done with walnuts!<br /><br />I had bangers & mash twice this week, ham & assorted veg for another 2 nights, fish & chips and a sandwich night with cheese & apples. I had baked a poppyseed coffee cake so that was this week's sweet treat.<br /><br />Margie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-73579204612217416502020-11-08T13:37:01.734-05:002020-11-08T13:37:01.734-05:00I think that is my favorite type of soup - really....I think that is my favorite type of soup - really.
