**Meatless Monday** Powdered Milk to the Rescue

All I wanted was biscuits and gravy. That's it. Biscuits. And gravy. However, I used the last of the milk for who knows what (no seriously, I can't remember, maybe it went bad??) and had a mild panic attack, so I turned to the only source of culinary knowledge I completely trust (sort of): the Maternal Unit. She of course made brilliant suggestions, one being powdered milk, which I keep on hand for baking purposes, and now for emergency biscuit and gravy cravings. Didn't turn out too badly and my cravings have been officially subdued.

This is how we make biscuits at work. This is how I will make them from now on. I suggest you do the same.

Biscuits and gravy from the Queen of Improvisation

So do you always have everything on hand when a craving comes a callin'? Or do you like to fly by the seat of your pants?

My pumpkin and me

I heart pumpkins and while this is a recent development, I have embraced it wholeheartedly. Pumpkin spice lattes, carving pumpkins, even...pumpkin pizza.

On Saturday, I finally convinced Husband to buy me a pumpkin. On our way home from running some errands, we stopped by a pumpkin stand set up by our local FFA. It was a double treat because the humane society was also having their Halloween costume party so we got to see some cute pooches all dressed up (I didn't get the girls costumes this year, which was okay since it was cold and rainy and I probably couldn't have gotten Mandie to leave the apartment anyway).
