There is a lot going on today, for a day which had nothing scheduled. We have our carpenter here doing some work. The house next door is being torn down. And I'm working on a bunch of projects of my own.
First, I popped the two sugar pumpkins in the oven, whole. I pricked them with a fork a few times each and baked them at 350 for about 90 minutes. Then I took the flesh and ran it through the food mill, finally using the pumpkin screen for the first time, and now have 3 bags of 2 cups of puree each in the freezer for pies.
Next, I made a batch of yogurt, which is down in the basement on the heating pad doing its thing.
Then I made a double batch of Cranberry-Rhubarb Compote to add to my gift stash. I'll likely make another batch in a few days, but this made 9 jars to add to the stash.
I also ground up stale bread and made bread crumbs. These come in handy when I want to make meatballs for dinner. And it finally got the stale bread off my counter.
Tonight I'll roast a chicken for dinner and then, tomorrow, will make more chicken stock and maybe some soup.
