    CM sounds delightful. I haven’t had shrimp or lobster tail in ages. Hard to find .\some crab is $50.00 a lb at the grocery store.

    Hahahaha. Nothing wrong with lots to love. :) I have a wheat allergy, so eventhough I make my own flour and do GF pasta from time to time, I most often use veggies instead. My lasagna ( as opposed to hubby's) is with sheets of Zucchini ran lengthwise through the mandolin, grilled to get the moisture out, and then lots of layers of the grilled zucchini for the noodle replacement. There is still a wee bit of moisture but not wet like a raw veg and it holds together really well.

    I had zucchini noodles last night while he had the carbonara. I don't blanch them anymore when I freeze them, quick dip into the hot pot pool, then out into a colander for a few hours. A bit of a pat dry. Seems to be the only way I can get them to hold together so that they behave like pasta and not stay wet on the plate.

    I'd really like to know how the attachment works out for you DM. Especialy for the butternut squash. Might be something I would be interested in also. :) Keep us posted?

    French Onion Soup made with homemade beef stock, a blend of the Stuttgarter yellow onions and the Spanish Onions, and the last of the raspberry wine. I'm baking an extra baguette for hubby for dipping.

    Mel… raspberry wine is a nice touch. I use walla wallla onions only grown in the state of Washington . Lots of boiling down use any red wine veggie broth .

    Thank you Pacnor. Yes - it's an all morning project to give it the caramelizing and reduction love. I used to buy Walla Wallas for this dish, but they are far too costly up here now. $4.00 an onion average, sometimes up to $6.00 an onion for the nice big ones. The Spanish Onions that I grew from seed are a sweet onion called "Candy" - not as mild as a Walla Walla but very comparable. They worked well, espcially mixed with a few of the bolder yellow onions. Great for onion rings too :) Walla Wallas are a treat once the garden onions are gone. I buy one and make it last ;)

    The musical fruit for dinner tonight - Maple baked beans with roast pork, and a salad. I have some fresh farm eggs, so I'm going to try @Logan 's idea of an egg with the beans. :)

    Walla walla onions are very tasty. I buy as many as I can and chop up in small pieces, place on a cookie sheet, spread out in a single layer and they freeze great. Place in a freezer bag once frozen.Then have them thru the winter.

    I had tinned tomatoes on toast with a fried egg and fruity brown sauce, hubby had a fried egg toast sandwich and a sausage toast sandwich with brown sauce.

    My Dad used to poach an egg in a tin of stewed tomatoes, and have it with toast. I haven't heard of it since :) I may have to give this a bash now Logan.

    That's great, yes you can poach an egg like that, I've poached an egg in a casserole before, make sure that it's hot before you put the egg in and cook it a bit more. Used to have a egg poacher that's good as well.

    Used to have a sandwich toaster but it went out of fashion in our house.
