Colcannon

Colcannon, according to my old Vincent Price cookbook, is a mixture of mashed potatoes, cabbage and onion with gobs of butter and garnished with bacon. We made it tonight, with butter in modest proportions and the leftover turkey kielbasa from the soup a previous night. This is really good--more peasant food, and we had a green salad with it, and I'll scarf down a piece of chocolate before I retire. Yum!

Hobbled out to the garden and picked more tomatoes today. About 6-8 will be ripe in a couple days, enough for some tomato soup. My last "serious" trip to the supermarket was Sept. 19th, before the party, and we've been living on what's in the fridge and the pantry along with a couple of quick strafe's through Shaw's.

Tomorrow we need a serious shopping trip with a list and everything. I'll have to sit in the front of the store while S.O. scurries around and tries to find the right stuff. He is a better shopper than a cook, so should do all right.

Twenty-one more pages of World of Mirrors before I'm done with the last pass. Made 4 more small chapters. I never know if doing basically cosmetic stuff like that will help or not, but it seemed like a necessary thing to do. I'm curious as to how many entrants Amazon has by now. 500? Who knows.

Started a Ridley Pearson book today, and it seemed like it would be a good read. So kids, back to the editing. Have a bang up Friday night.
