After a short break, I made two recipes today. I made the Pumpkin Custard (267) for my Bradley class and I made the Spaghetti Sauce (119) for our dinner. I had never eaten custard before. This was almost exactly like pumpkin pie without the crust. I actually froze the leftovers to see if it would get to be like ice cream. We’ll see. The Spaghetti sauce was pretty good. I actually prefer the sauce for the pizza on page 142. The taste is a little more interesting, but it can also be used as pasta sauce. Even though the 119 recipe is called pizza or spaghetti sauce it’s really only for spaghetti, I think. The 142 recipe (if you use puree, like I do) makes enough for 2 pizzas and one pasta dinner or 4 pizzas.

Obviously, Thanksgiving is tomorrow, so I won’t be doing MwL recipes then. However, I’ve noticed a major difference in my back pain when I cook and when I don’t. So, until after baby, I’m going to take a little break. There will be a lot of baked potatoes, pasta, tacos, and baked chicken for the next month. That’s ok, right? Fine with me.

I’m thankful for you, blog readers and friends, this morning. It’s fun to share cooking with you and get your encouragement and input. Have a happy thanksgiving. I won’t disappear completely, but I’l be around less.
