Produce is coming on Friday, because I don't have it in me to shop and stow away in the same day. Citruses. Salad vegetables. More vegetables. Another big ol' ham because haaam. I feel like an antarctic research station cook waiting for the next boat with freshies to sail in.
Tabby cat laying by the edge of a bed with rainbow sheets. Her head is rested on the leg of a hooman wearing white with little red truck hauling a Christmas tree and woofer print pj pants. The leg is dangling down, with a mottled foot at the end. Her food and water setup is toward the upper right sitting on brown carpet, and at the bottom right is the tip of one crutch.

Enough with the phone, hooman!
Tabby cat laying on a Rainbow Brite comforter, belly floof partly facing the camera. She has one paw held up curled, as if about to groom it, and is almost glaring.

Thanksgiving leftovers. This is my answer to the yearly game of "how do I eat down this giant thing I bought because it was cheap." I basically ended up with a frijoles charros variant, sub a mess of pumpkin, which may be for the best for my blood sugar.
Food in a blue rimmed white Corelle bowl with ridges along its walls, sitting on vintage Rainbow Brite bedding. In the bowl is pumpkin bean ham mash, with a heap of shredded Colby jack cheese along one section of the edge and plain Greek yogurt along another side by where a silver colored spoon is sticking up from it. Food in a brown glass stock pot with a wooden spoon stuck in on the left side. The food is a mash of pumpkin, beans, ham, corn, onions, and jalapeno peppers.

EAT THE JACK O LANTERN.
Part 3.
I'm on a roll. The bag of grocery store potatoes didn't make it to gobble gobble day. Planned on using the bigger spuds and a smaller squash, but butchered another big pumpkin instead and now I'm making something with a Mexican tilt.
A stock pot, two baking dishes, and a mixing bowl sit on a messy white stovetop along with a cream pitcher and salt and pepper shakers. In a brown glass stock pot are large chunks of baked pumpkin, skin still on. In a purple glass baking dish is rendered ham fat. In a white glass with green outer baking dish is squeezed down pumpkin. In the clear glass mixing bowl is a bone in half ham, about half of it chopped away for other cooking.

Caturday floof! Trying to get up to cook and get ready, but Mavis doesn't want me to move.
Tabby cat sitting for scritches. In the background is brown carpet, a white dresser with crutches leaning against it, a brown and white wooden box with a lime green table supporting a mini fridge above it, and cat supplies set next to the box.

Cooking is finished because I'm out of gas. Crunchy onions? Have em, but too tired. Crunchy dessert topping? Too tired. The pumpkin orange cranberry works as a stand alone, but it would've done even better with the toppings. Considering I'm still nonweightbearing on the foot, this is plenty for me.
Feast day round up. Five baking dishes are sitting on a white stovetop. From rear to front: orange marmalade ham in a clear glass mixing bowl, potatoes half covered by a chunk of ham fat with the top charred in a purple glass dish, stuffing with onion and a generous amount of zucchini in a white mixing bowl with blue patterning on the side, pumpkin and cranberries in a clear glass mixing bowl with a piece of tinfoil partway peeled off, and green beans in a lake of cream of mushroom soup in a white baking dish with brown sides. Food on a black and white patterned plate, sitting on a white stovetop. Zucchini and bread stuffing, green bean bake, baby potatoes with pepper, orange ham, and pumpkin orange cranberry are mounded onto the plate.

The pumpkin must floooow.

I do NOT remember Strattera brain actually buying this, but thank goodness it did because I didn't start cooking until like six. As much as I want to bang out the deranged thing from scratch, glaze and all, that's not happening with me starting this late.
A hand is holding a bottle of Monari Federzoni red wine vinegar glaze. In the background is a clear glass mixing bowl with cooked pumpkin and raw cranberries mixed in, sitting on a white stove. Might add some sugar to the main thing and/or the glaze depending on what it tastes like on its own. 1/2 jack o lantern, cooked and squeezed 8oz orange marmalade 1 bag cranberries Basic flour-sugar-butter crunch topping, to be made Glaze drizzle

Here we go again. I threw a bag of cranberries in the cart before surgery, spacing that the one cranberry recipe I can stand doesn't work anymore because I became allergic. I started this too late in the day to even get both halves prepped, but my table space is back.
A cleaver is stuck into a large jack o lantern pumpkin, handle pointed toward the camera. It is sitting on a white stove. Behind to the right are salt and pepper shakers, a mug, and a pan and lid. Leaning against the stove to the left is a crutch.

Three. And. A. Half. Hours. That doesn't even include setting up the tree itself, which I had the sense to do before the surgery that Mavis screamed at me until I got. At least she doesn't try to climb it. Can't wait for this lemon foot to heal up.
A black Christmas tree decorated with white LED lights and various ornaments. A few blown glass color bulbs, some icicles and plastic gems, and a spun glass bell trio and ceramic potpourri ornament are mixed in with a variety of clear glass bulbs with glitter designs on them. Topping the tree is a capiz shell star.

Laundry is clean but not put away. I want it done now, but she is making me rest.
A brownish tabby cat is laying on a lap with reddish brown corduroy pants, eyes half closed and making biscuits. Behind her is a brown floor strewn with toys and a gravity water bowl.

Seriously, our economy is cooked and the decor is made of real calories. Can't believe I'm posting the dumpster fire recipe, but if it helps someone come up with an idea for theirs they feeds them it's worth it...
A blue and white printed paper bowl sits on a rainbow striped sheet. In the bowl is roughly mashed pumpkin with corn, potato, tomato, leek, and canned meat.

Good thing that this will last a while because it took me two days and I'm exhausted. Also, what the Purina happened to corned beef and hash? Like I knew it wasn't going to be the best shortcut, but it aspires to be as good as the block of Spam that I threw in because WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MEAT???
Sadness baked at 350 degrees. A purple glass stock pot sits on a white stovetop. Behind and to the right is a white with floral print cream pitcher, handle of a brown glass stock pot poking out from behind a black oven glove, and the corner of a box of Chinese tea. The stovetop is dirty. In the purple stock pot is a mass of orange pumpkin with canned meat and vegetables mixed in. Diced tomatoes, corn, potatoes, and leek.

First round of cooking since surgery, and I butchered a carving pumpkin. Not the easiest pick to start with but it was by the cd table and I wanted the floor space.
A purple glass stock pot with large chunks of golden orange pumpkin sitting in an oven, illuminated from above by the appliance light. Below it is a cream colored cookie sheet with charred splotches of long ago spilled food. Smushed below are canned diced tomatoes with garlic and olive oil and canned corn. Not pictured: the chopped leek and two cans of corned beef hash to be added later. Yes, this dish is a can stack with leftover Samhain decor thrown in. No, I'm not sorry.

A brownish gray tabby floof is curled up in a loose croissant, front paws crossed under her head. She is laying on old Rainbow Brite sheets and a comforter. Crutches leaning on a cream colored dresser with dull bronze toned shell handles. Dangling above the brown speckled floor between the crutches and dresser is a wrapped foot. Gauze pokes out from under ace bandage and covers all but the big toe. Over the ace bandaging is a short black fracture shoe.

Round two of cooking is done. I think this may look worse than the time I accidentally made mashed chicken but it's going up anyway 😅
An unglamorous mess in a white glass baking dish with a silver utensil handle sticking up to the left. Turnip and swiss chard greens, cooked and run through a blender on chop, with the consistency of mud, are smeared throughout a pile of sliced mushrooms and chunks of rainbow bell pepper. A chunky brown mudlike puddle of food in an Early American brown oval pyrex baking dish. Bits of diced tomatoes and poblano peppers are mixed throughout a mix of pureed acorn squash and ground beef.

Round two has started. No idea what to call this because I dumped in half a bag of egg noodles. It's definitely borsch flavored, but does that ever have those?
It's the purple glass pot from the last post but cooked and with a gold colored utensil handle sticking up to the left. Beef, swiss chard stalks, banana pepper, and turnips. Also tomato and noodles and peeled zucchini because I can't always remember what all got dumped in 😅 Fun fact: there is no point in trying out swiss chard if you already know you're allergic to beets because they're the same species.

Part one of tonight's cooking spree. Tried playing "is this an allergen yet" with the raw radishes. Nope, but they were past their prime so into a soup they went.
Two baking dishes and a glass stock pot in the oven. On the left is the stock pot with beef, swiss chard stalks, banana pepper, and turnips. Rear right is an Early American brown oval pyrex baking dish with large chunks of acorn squash, the skin still on. Front right is a vintage round glasbake dish with chopped swiss chard leaves with salad turnip greens buried underneath, topped by a mismatched purple pyrex lid. Below them is an off-white cookie sheet permanently on spillover catch duty.

Farmer's market haul of the week. Zucchini is pretty much done for the year, same with eggplant. Just as well since I don't want to look at them after freezer prepping at least a half dozen of the monstrosities. Thankfully, chard leaves are quicker to work with. Also I have pet FOURTEEN DOGS today 🥰
A sprawl of vegetables on a white stovetop. Back to front: swiss chard, turnip tops, leek, poblano peppers, a large shallot, baby gold potatoes, pattypan squash, pink tiger cherry tomatoes, red cherry tomatoes, lamb tongue, hakurei turnips, another large shallot, and anaheim peppers.

Cooking round up. It's not too late to play the game of 'will new veggie make tongue go numb' since there are still swiss chard stalks in the fridge 😅
Soup fixins baked in a brown glass stock pot, sitting on a white stovetop and yearning for broth. Behind is a purple glass pot. In the pot are beef, homestyle egg noodles, radish greens, swiss chard leaves, kohlrabi, tomato, and onion. Food in a purple glass stock pot, sitting on a white stovetop. Beef, curly egg noodles, zucchini, mushrooms, tomato, and onion clamor for pasta sauce and some cheese. A couple bay leaves stick up from the mass, confused as to why they are still there.

Farmer's market haul of the week.
A produce horde has claimed half the stovetop once again. A slightly less ridiculously huge than usual zucchini finds half cover behind drooping swiss chard leaves, radish tops, and a gaggle of beets. In front of them are banana peppers, tomatillos, and a trio of acorn squash. At the front edge of the stove are tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and a clear bag of apples.

The games will only suck for a little bit. Just ask Geoffrey the Giraffe.

She just wants to sleep but some hooman that smells like eggplant keeps wanting back on the bed. I'm down to one eggplant, some peppers, and two of those like foot and a half zucchini left.
Tabby floof laying on white and rainbow sheets. She is laying on her side, one paw tucked up to the side and one ear sticking up. Too eepy to give a full glare but doing her best.
