September 21st: Pizza Penne & Gingery Broccoli and Cauliflower

Verdict:
Toss: pasta & veggies (all)

Today is the last day of summer. Sigh... And it felt like it. This morning, walking to catch the bus at 7:10 a.m., my choice of open-toed shoes seemed silly and I wondered whether I might end up with frostbite. By 4:00 this afternoon, though, they seemed like just the right choice for the lovely warm, sunny afternoon.

I'll keep this short, as the recipes tonight were duds. From September 2010's Today's Parent: Pizza Penne. From September 2010's Chatelaine: Gingery Broccoli and Cauliflower. I should note here that Greg and Olivia liked the pasta, which is quite plain. Olivia's vote only sort of counts right now, and Greg agreed he didn't love it, which is the criterion required to receive a "try again" status is our house. Greg and I liked the veggies, O didn't, and the recipe wasn't so fabulous I'm dying to try it again. So they both receive a recommended "don't bother."



In the last week, I have received the October 2010 Chatelaine and Today's Parent in the mail, and begun planning the meals for next month. Bring on fall cooking: soups and pizzas! If you've been reading the magazines and have a recipe you are thinking sounds good, let me know, and I can tell you when I will be making it and then we can compare notes or I can give you the lowdown. Bring on autumn. :)
