What's for Dinner, Wed., Oct. 2, 2024 [View all]

I made macaroni and cheese using acorn squash, using a Pioneer Woman recipe. Other than the squash addition, it's made just like regular mac and cheese.

To go with it, I think I'll stop by the food bar at the grocery store and get a few BBQ ribs. If I run out of time, I'll just use a bratwurst.

When I looked at the recipe cooking time, I was shocked at how long it took. Around 90", if I remember correctly. It took every bit of that, and this is what reminded me that I don't make mac 'n cheese very often. All that stirring as you thicken the sauce with the addition of cheese and also flour to thicken it...takes a lot of time.

Pomegranate kombucha.

Dessert: half a caramel apple with chopped peanuts on the caramel.
