Because of course, we needed a little horror this week:

Monday Menu: Final Harvest and Soup Time
Expecting our first hard freeze this week. It’s been cold enough that the tomatoes have stopped ripening, so it was time to bring them in. I picked about six pounds, and I expect more than half to ripen, more if I’m lucky.
With cold weather and tomatoes on the mind, it seemed the perfect time for soup!
Furry Friday: Lost & Found
I came home the other day to find this little guy and his friend playing in my yard. No collars, no idea where they came from.
Because of course I did. For those keeping track, five dogs, one pig, two chickens and a Chameleon have all wandered into my yard and been rescued since I moved in.
Work Wednesday: Act One Shines
Got some good rewrites done this week. And very happy with how Act One of FULL SAIL is shaping up. It feels tight. TJ and Colby are once again full-fledged humans, Mimi is holding her own, and the secondary characters are well fleshed out.
Monday Menu: A Fall Favorite
Since I discovered using a cast-iron skillet method for making apple crisp, that’s been my go-to. Cooking the apple mixture on the stove changes everything. The apple mixture has time to become soft and syrupy before adding the topping and baking at a higher temperature.
And this week I had a few apples I needed to use before they went bad. I think I made one of my best apple crisps.
Here’s what I added to the recipe below: caramel sauce spread liberally over the cooked apples before I added the crisp. I also grabbed the jar of pumpkin spice and added about two teaspoons worth while cooking the apple mixture.
