When did this become a blog about cooking?
Today was a big day of cooking. I made the squash soup using this recipe. I used the squash from yesterday's post instead of butternut squash. I turned out pretty good. I think it needed a bit more spice. I didn't get any pictures but might tomorrow.
I also baked some cheddar wheat bread from a recipe that I found in some magazine ages ago. Its super easy and super yummy. I didn't get an photos of it either. But I might tomorrow.
Then I baked the pie above. Actually, I baked two. My mom took home the second pie. They were a test run of these recipes. I made the filling from scratch using a sugar pumpkin from a previous farm share. There was another sugar pumpkin in our Thanksgiving share. I really liked the consistency of the pie but I think it needs more spice.
The pie crust is frozen and came two to a package. I don't have custard cups like the recipe suggests so I made two pies. I used Pacific Natural Foods Organic Frozen Traditional 9 Inch Pie Shells and was quite impressed. I'll probably use them again for this weekend as I'll be too stressed out about the turkey to make pie crust from scratch.

Orange Play Dough
Last week a friend gave The Boy two tubs of play dough. He loves playing with it but wanted more colors. This morning we made orange play dough using this no cook recipe. He enjoyed dumping in the salt, flour and kool-aid. He kept asking hopefully if the dough needed more flour.
Still no knitting. I'm still not getting much sleep. Little Miss and I may be taking a trip to the beach soon. If we do, I'll get some knitting done then.
