we're in the 4th week of virtual school, and all my summer patterns are out the door. floundering a bit, but am giving myself grace and frozen entrees. I'm really grasping for a rhythm of what works, especially at the end of the day when we're all just *done*.

We should all be willing to give ourselves "grace and frozen entrees." This new lifestyle is so, so hard.

I picked up a big box of tomato seconds from my local produce market late last week, so I held off my back-to-school panic by canning and freezing things! Today is the second day of going to school online and (knock on wood) it’s working for us so far.

I'm so glad to hear a positive report about school! NYC postponed the start date--they have some sort of onboarding Weds-Fri next week, then school officially begins on the 21st. I have no idea what to expect. (And that's excellent news, about your tomatoes!)

Aside from eating *all* the end of summer tomatoes and zucchini, we’ve been finding all the different things on which we can put that green sauce from the Peruvian chicken recipe. So good and so addictive- YUM!!

Welcome back! We have had fridge trouble all summer but I think we are through the worst of it. Hoping not to have any more spoiled food!

So much fridge action! You're the third person who mentioned theirs. I'll keep my fingers crossed that yours has a change of heart.

Tomorrow, hopefully, my new fridge arrives. We've been making do with a smallish one (10 cu sq ft) for over a month (which included a week with no power at all). Tomorrow I will have approximately 28 cu sq ft of beautiful fridge space. I'm already planning a giant Baldor order for Friday. No more taking half the fridge stuff out and putting it on the floor to get the one thing in the back.

Ooo, I dream about having a new fridge. The one in our apartment isn't bad but the freezer is super-awkward. I'm so excited for you!

We did a giant fridge clean-out on Labor Day. Goodbye, sourdough starter! Farewell, unlabeled pesto-type-thing! Ew that was "use by Feb 2019"!!

Ha, I did that just before we left for vaca! So satisfying. It was about as empty as our fridge has been since pre-COVID. I did keep the sourdough starter, but I'm not sure why.
