Had a couple of crazy days, cooked last night for our halloween party tonight, so didn't get too much done on my menu. It is planned, I just haven't finished writing it all up.

Between being busy on a couple of sites, plus work, the daily grind, and getting ready for our Halloween Party tonight ... it has been a bit crazy. Comcast, our internet provider also had it's issues - so things have been a struggle, but back on track. We had highs in the low 70's for 3 days and this week seems to be 70's-low 80's. Fall is here. I actually was cold last night and needed an extra blanket. Anyone have Halloween plans?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SAT ...
Halloween Party. Lots of food, but mostly small bites. About 30 of us, but also there are 6 of us cooking. We spent last night making most of it and preparing. Tonight should be fun.

SUN ...
Soup Day: I'm hoping to make my chick pea and rosemary soup / Bread Day: A simple white loaf
Dinner: Lemon Pine Nut Pasta; grilled lemon chicken skewers on the side

Lady #1: Sarasota's Creamy Brussels Sprouts Soup; warm meatloaf sammies with melted cheddar; orange and grapefruit salad
Lady #2: Sarasota's White Cheddar Cheese Soup; and a BLT; fresh melon salad
Me: Sarasota's Ham and Swiss Cheese Salad; toasted roll
----------
TUES ...
5 Ingredient Salmon in a Mustard & Honey Cream Sauce; roasted baby red potatoes with thyme; and fresh tomato slices
----------
WED ...
Lady #1 and #2: Cuban Sammy Stuffed Pork Loin & Mustard Vinaigrette; yellow rice; and a mix of romaine and iceberg lettuce topped with a tomato, mix olive and onion relish tossed in a basic red wine a lemon vinaigrette with lots of garlic
Me: Soup and pita pizza (probably at work). I have my chick pea soup from Sunday and I'll top with pita with grilled veggies and some Feta, light and simple
----------
THURS ...
Lady #3: Beef and Ale Stew With a Savory Crust; classic iceberg salad with home made blue cheese dressing; dessert is a pumpkin spice cake

Sarasota's Ham and Swiss Cheese Salad sounds like one I might need to try!

Thx, it isn't hard, but just a nice flavor for a different type of salad. I love to serve with a bowl of potato soup or tomato for a light dinner. A nice roll on the side. I'm a big fan of soup and salad dinners for something a bit healthier

Well, I had a menu made up and went to get stuff for kabobs out of the freezer...The power was out to the freezer! We have to throw everything out. Everything!

Iowa girl - so sorry about the freezer! It is awful when things like that happen. When there's room, I try to store my little freezer packs in the freezer which can buy a bit of time. Is there anything you can possibly just cook now and then freeze as cooked? Good luck!
With all of our visitors and other things going on, we've been on the move for something like 12 of the past 14 evenings. All I want to do is sit home by myself and read a book! But we have been having fun, too.
Here's the plan for this week, when things start to settle down.
Sat - Roller derby (watching, not skating!). We will find something to eat closer to the venue. I get the night off!
Sun - sauce with tomatoes, garlic, olives, and frozen scallops to have with leftover noodles that need to be used up; with shaved parm.
Mon - Jam night. Asian Brown Rice and Peanut Salad Toss, probably with tuna or a bit of chicken, maybe some sesame crackers on the side
Tue - made-up soup with white beans, greens, onion, garlic, rosemary; maybe a poached egg; with cheese and bread
Wed - similar to Wild West Beef & Smoked Gouda Grits but I will use a mix of interesting dried mushrooms and I will start with some sliced tenderloin that we got on sale from the organic butcher. So it will be sort of a stroganoffy thing and we will see if it is odd with the grits aspect (I am STILL without a working oven, and trying not to have pasta or rice every night!).
Thu - Greek Meatballs, Feta Yogurt Sauce and Lemon Couscous
Fri - hoping for leftovers, but that never seems to work out; so there's always clammy pasta or spaghetti sauce from the freezer
Happy Fall! --M

The power's been out a couple of days at least. We're remodeling the TV room and it's on the same breaker as the one we have the window AC in. It blew and we didn't even bother to go throw it. We had no idea they were on the same one, since we usually take care of it immediately. Some things are soft. Some still frozen. It's a mess.

I'm debating cooking what I can or tossing it all regardless. So far what I've taken out doesn't smell funky or feel slimy, so...And it was all still at least refrigerator cold. The stuff at the bottom is still frozen solid.
Any advice?

All I can say is I have been there. And yes, it is a mess. Sorry to hear.
