Yay! It's back! After a two-week hiatus! I haven't actually finished all the satsumas and Fuji apples that I got two weeks ago, but that is probably because I went a little overboard and got six pounds of satsumas and then ate out with my parents a lot. But I only had about two or three left, so it was time to restock anyway.

I got leeks (so cute!), garnet yams because they sounded pretty and I like the orange color, lemons, and more satsumas. Amazingly, that was it! I still have so much food in the fridge that I'm not really supposed to cook much more this week. Oh dear. But... I am making a Whole Foods run later for canned chickpeas for chickpea pancakes and potato-chickpea stew. Yay chickpeas! Well, except I'm going to use the yams instead of potatos because I adore yams. Hopefully it won't taste too weird.

Also, I now need more squash recipes because my butternut squash and leek Thai curry is really really tasty and I want more squash. Mmmm, squash.

It's odd, because I always thought I wouldn't like squash. But no, it is indeed tasty!

And I'm not quite sure what to do with the leeks, but they were pretty. I blame the curry as well. Perhaps I will just sautee them with my leftover celery and toss it together with some random stuff. I also saw fennel and wanted to get some but had to curtail myself. Still have lots of food in fridge! Must stop!

Hrm, must start foisting food onto other people....

I'm not really a fan of squash myself, but a friend has a good recipe that he makes for holiday potlucks--it's a sort of casserole made from a squash and a lot of cheese. It's pretty yummy. ^_^ (Not the most helpful description on my part, but if you ever see something like that it might be worth trying.)

I saw satsumas at the organic grocery store down the street a few weeks ago, and I wanted to try them, but couldn't justify it since we had a huge stock of clementines. :/

Ooo that sounds good!

I adore satsumas. Actually, I can't tell them apart from clementines, but they're pretty much what I live off of during the winter when I can't get most other fruit.
