Don't Make a Bit of Difference, Don't Know Why it Should

Whether you make them correctly or just throw them in a roaster and do a quick fill, stuffed peppers never disappoint.  I saved time by not chopping but roasting seasoned small tomatoes alongside because they taste so good with the peppers.  This way, you could have a bite with the peppers or your salad greens.  I had string cheese sticks, so I scissor cut them on top in the last minutes.  Quick easy and highly satisfying.

In your lifetime you will make so many meals, most you won't remember and the only thing that is important is that you enjoy it while you're actually eating it.  And for that reason, sometimes the speed of prep time might take precedence over proper procedure.  There is also a deep satisfaction in knowing you achieved deep flavor in a smaller amount of time. 

It's Autumn in New York

Halloween decorations around the hood

Fall colors in my $11 Carne platter from Freddy's Taco Truck.  A bounty of seasoned steak on a bed of Mexican rice with black beans, guacamole, pico de gallo, lettuce, 3 corn tortillas and two sauces!

Temu trial haul - a bag-load of very inexpensive stuff got me this $10 hoodie that was a Day of the Dead cat, complete with ears.  Sweet!!

These Are the Days of our Lives

This may be the first pumpkin I ever carved and it was for a movie we shot leading up to Halloween.  I play another wife that gets murdered (insert suspicion of husband and brother-in-law that constantly write in death of wife in short films)

 

And this may have been the ten thousandth chicken I roasted in my lifetime. You live a while, you roast a lot of chickens, that's all I can tell ya.  Many will be succulent and delicious, others dry and uneventful.  Thus are the days of our lives.   Luckily, this was the former and I double carbed it with potatoes and rice.   

Took a walk around the neighborhood and was surprised to see how many flowers still existed at the end of October.
