It's a nice, cool 60 something outside. The windows are open. I've been dozing on the couch while the kids get their "afternoon" nap in the swings.
This weather is making me look through recipes.
I want to try these two:
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/peanut-butter-vegetable-chicken-soup/Detail.aspx http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pumpkin-turkey-chili/detail.aspx But I think it's because I love pumpkin, peanut butter, and chili far too much.
This weekend I made Awesome Chili for Awesome People by Dinosaur Comics:

However white bean chili is up next. Today I need to make more alfredo sauce to bump up my chicken, spinach, mushroom pasta and I need to run some to Richie (feeding Mike's brother got me a brat yesterday-woot!).
I really look forward to returning to work. It means I'll be working (get out of house) but I'll have plenty of time off to keep cooking/etc. Plus, if I rework my pasta dish I'll have dinner for tomorrow. Yaaaay!
