This can’t last forever right? Still finding peppers and tomatoes and all sorts of lovely summer fare all the way into October? The tomatoes are a little ugly yes, but that’s nothing a little roasting can’t fix. Real talk, every weekend since August I’ve made of batch of this.

I put it on and in everything. I implore you to try it. This past weekend a meatloaf benefited from the addition with great success. I also eat it with my fingers straight from the pan, because I have no manners, obviously.

I’m feeling a bit more like myself after what I can only say was one of those FOR SURE can’t mistake it for anything else grownup life turning points. Oh, right, this is the real world and nobody cares about you. Silly me.

ANYWAYS. A bit more like myself means that I had a bunch of fun in the kitchen this past weekend. Ideally, the proof of that will show up on this here space all week.

Besides what is shown in the market haul, can I tell you that I am drowning in cranberries? Drowning. I worked a super cool gig for Ocean Spray and came home with approximately 10 pounds of them. As if I had room for them. Here’s to making lots of sauce, and cakes, and hmmm, what else….HALP!
