One's got to give dear sweet Lu credit for trying so hard, to keep the cooking and baking forum alive.
It thrived when the hippywife primitive Mrs. Alfred Packer was the dominant primitive there, but ever since hippyhubby Wild Bill told Mrs. Alfred Packer she couldn't hang around with the primitives any more, the forum's gone into a tail-spin.
Why, I can't figure it out. Mrs. Alfred Packer was a hate-filled, angry, bitter, confused older woman, and dear sweet Lu is, well, dear and sweet, surely a much more attractive personality to draw traffic to this dwindling forum.

2. Not sure yet...I have a wealth of v*g I need to use
I may make a Cauliflower Pizza crust Pizza with peppers and mushrooms or I might make a ratatouille with the egg plant and huge zucchini I pulled out of the garden. I really should do both and stick the stew in the freezer for those less bountiful times.

4. Got a great deal on a rib eye locally So it's simple BBQ with marinated onion and a green bean side.
We've been overcast here every day, but a sunny window about now for some outdoor cooking.

5. chicken in sage and celery gravy, smashed redskins, apple salad..
...and apple pie. It's 85 degrees today, but I had pies to make. Since the kitchen was going to be hot anyway, a fall-ish dinner happened.
The oven in this apartment does not retain the heat within very well. There's a 1 inch space between the bottom of the oven door and the top of the lower storage drawer. And the stovetop itself gets very hot from oven use. Nice in the winter; not so nice in the summer.
Anybody know what "celery gravy" is?
It sure sounds like something the pie-and-jam primitive would make, but nobody else.

6. Oven-barbecued ribs (I don't have a grill).
Made a rub of salt, pepper, white sugar, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, paprika and a bit of cayenne pepper. Wrapped the ribs after slathering them with a generous amount of rub in tinfoil and baked in a 300-oven for two hours. Put them back in the oven uncovered at 325 for about 1/2 hour with Sweet Baby Ray's hickory barbecue sauce.
Sides were Irish potatoes (from a can) browned in butter and an heirloom tomato.

11. They were really good, and I have enough left for tomorrow night.
I do miss having a barbecue at times, but I can't have one where I live. Also, there's no place to put one!

7. BBQ Ribs
deviled cauliflower, big salad with lots of tomato and avocado. Nice roll from the grocery store crisped in the oven. Rich but flavorful.

16. Had some in the back of the freezer and forgot about them. When I was looking for my hambone yesterday I decided to thaw it out and see what it was. Sometimes I save just flavor bones or fat to render into lard. When it thawed, I recognized it as the tag ends of ribs that I cooked for the fundraiser in July. Made it all so easy! Pretty moon tonight. Throw it a kiss for me from the boat!

8. Yay! A friend just brought over some sushi grade yellowtail, some crabmeat and some small peppers.
She is going to do the preparing and cooking. We will eat the tuna raw and she is going to stuff the peppers with crabmeat and cream cheese.
Oh, yeah! I'm not cooking and will have a treat.

13. Stuffed peppers with crabmeat and cream cheese...
franksolich went to the convenience store in town about 8:00 p.m. and bought a slice of Canadian bacon pizza ($1.59) for supper.
