After my post-summer, post-road-trip crash of the past two weeks, I’m slowly venturing out of my cave.

I baked sugar cookies Monday, and magically two hungry children appeared with their father!  How did they know?

It was a party.

Today–or maybe tomorrow, or Friday?– I will venture out to the library to pick up the new Longmire novel.  I need to buy Halloween candy.  And mail a box of jam.

That might be enough errands for one day.  But hey, I’m slowly getting back to normal and it’s all good.

Yesterday I tried my hand at making flatbread.  Conclusion:  I think it’s going to take more practice.  And a few more recipes.  Do any of you have a good one I could try?

My flatbreads tasted just fine, but the recipe called for cooking them in a frying pan and oil.  Next time I’ll try another way.  Suggestions, anyone?

I also made butternut squash soup, the best thing ever.  Banjo Man has promised a trip to Narragansett for chowder and clam cakes soon, which we will have to manage to do in between doctor visits.  It’s that time of year when we squeeze all of our check ups into the few weeks before Christmas.

What are you cooking this month?
