Food on the run... welcome to another tech week

I'm moving towards the opening night and weekend of my current show, which makes things a little hectic, especially when it comes to things like meals. Tonight I ate on some potato bake thing my mom made to go with dinner (she made baked beans too, but there was bacon in them and hard to tell what else) and grabbed a banana on my way out the door to eat at rehearsal. It was enough to sustain me until we got home. We stopped at my sister's on the way home a bit, while my brother raided her refridgerator. I've given up on raiding my sister's fridge for such for me... she eats very few vegetables and puts meat in pretty much everything. When I came home I heated up some frozen ravioli and topped it with some jarred sauce (spiced up a bit) with a peice of wheat bread.

It promises to be a busy week and thankfully I have plenty of fruit on hand.

Back, and hopefully not forgotten

No, I didn't forget, it was just a busy summer full of spending time with family and friends, grilling veggie burgers and wonderful vegatables like corn on the cob, mushrooms, asparagus, onions, peppers, and anything else that seems to catch my fancy. Fall is very much upon us, kicked off in this area my the county fair in September. I entered my vegetarian cookbook collection in the hobby building for cookbook collections and took first place in the catagory, beating out the wildlife cooking collection and more tradional colletcions. (I viewed this as a fairly major personal victory in making this lifestyle much more accepted in mainstream farming country.)

I've been keeping myself busy with community theater (one current project that is getting ready to open, one just starting rehearsals, and one that I am working on proposing), as well as getting ready for the holidays. I just can't seem to resist trying new recipes (especially trying out new cookie recipes on friends and family). Plans for Thanksgiving are now in the works. As per the usual my family is all gathering round... vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

Hope ya'all are enjoying the fall foilage and enjoying the soup inspriing weather.
