This week is pretty low-key. Today I'm headed down to Livonia for a baby shower for the daughter of a co-worker and good friend of mine, Mohammed. Tuesday afternoon I'm planning to go to my local WAPF chapter meeting. Thursday I'm off of work for Veteran's Day. Carson and I will be going out to the Veteran's cemetery to visit my Grandpa and Uncle Barry, who were both in the Army and served in Korea and Vietnam together. Friday is my flex day and we'll be doing Kindermusik and the normal milk and CSA pickup. Friday night we'll be heading over to my Grandpa's house to celebrate his birthday with the family. We're not sure yet about Saturday. We may see if some friends want to hang out, or we've thought about going to Grand Rapids. We need to talk about it a little more and see what we want to do.
I didn't get a lot of extra stuff done last week. I was mostly just getting things ready for Saturday's turkey dinner with my dad's family. Which, by the way, turned out perfectly delicious! So this week I want to get a few things done that I've been wanting or needing to do for a few weeks now. I've had turkey stock going overnight, so I'll deal with that tonight after its had a full 24 hours cook time. Its a huge batch, so I'll be able to put some in the freezer and use some this week. We'll be getting stock in our diet every day this week but Saturday at this point (and its TBD, so we could have it then, too), between the dinners and then leftovers for lunch the next day. I want to make some more sourdough goods... crackers and cinnamon rolls. We're out of both. I also need to make some more granola bars and protein bars. So I need to make some crispy nuts and some soaked/dehydrated oats. I've also got some more herbs to dry. I've got some more apples coming on Friday when I pick up our CSA order, so I want to do some more apple baking, too. Not totally sure what I want to make yet, other than an apple crisp. I think I'd like to make some mini apple pies for the freezer, too.

Enjoy your day off. Good luck w/ all of the kitchen work. I bet the turkey stock is awesome!
Still anxious to hear about those cinnamon rolls ;)
Maybe we'll see you Sat.
I know, I haven't posted them. I'm not sure I will actually post the recipe, though. I've already posted several from the e-course and I feel like I shouldn't post too many more, if any... Wardeh said it should be ok as long as there aren't too many of the recipes posted, though, so we'll see...
