Oh yes. Veggies that are past their prime are bagged up and sold for $2 a bag. These are usually looking just as good as what's in the produce aisle too. Great bargain, especially when you're going to cook them anyway.

Thanks Chuck!

Jona and his parents are coming next weekend to celebrate.

We are lucky to have a holiday that lasts for eight days! Gives you plenty of time to celebrate with different groups of people.

I'm so glad I have an electric chanukkia   , so Jona can light it without any adult help.

I do think of Kentucky as the South. Not the Deep South, though.

I do, too.

So there's also Flannery O'Connor, Tennessee Williams, Zora Neale Hurston, Truman Capote, Harper Lee, Eudora Welty, Walker Percy, Robert Penn Warren ...

Margaret Mitchell. ...

Harper Lee and Truman Capote were the answer/question for Final Jeopardy recently.

Seems early for Hanukkah! I spent the afternoon repotting and puttering around with my houseplants. I took the largest ones out on the deck, turned them out of their pots, trimmed the roots, and replaced the potting soil with fresh dirt. it is well into the 70s today.

Speaking of that, I'm making turkey soup and tezzrazini. Do you know a good way to combine turkey and eggplant?

Answering my own question, I'm preparing to make a turkey and eggplant koresh from my Mediterranean cookbook. I'll let you all know how it comes out! Fresh eggplant is usually not available this time of year, so when I saw two nice big ones on the clearance shelf, I snapped them up.
