Soup with broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes, leftover celery and chicken, pork, corn, onions, leftover rice, and liberal doses of soy sauce, parsley, salt, and pepper, made by S because she was too hungry to wait for someone else to cook. Pardon the really blurry, indoor light-tinted pictures.

Epic sausage and vegetable pot pie made from scratch by K and S. And by epic I mean really epic. Six different vegetables including potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, onions, celery. Crust combined by hand.

3 differenty types of potatoes.

The vegetables barely fit into the pot.

Chicken pineapple sausage.

The crust took ages to mix and flatten since we don't have a rolling pin or food processor.

Ha, the filling was quite filling.

Made by K and S.

Q: How can we use up a giant Costco-sized can of pumpkin?
A: Pumpkin pasta and pumpkin pie...

Since we broke our last two can-openers, we resorted to stabbing the top of the can repeatedly with a knife.

Look, it works!

How unappealing.

Pumpkin pasta, with parsley and cheese sprinkled on top.

Baby pumpkin pie next to Mama.

Made by K and her friend M.

Chicken and onions. Some weird combination of squash/melon things and tomatoes and bean sprouts. Guacamole made from near-rotting avocados. Microwaveable pilaf. Steamed almost-rotting carrots from the Embarcadero Farmer's Market. Made by K and S. I would like to apologize for how unappetizing these photos are, but this isn't a cooking blog. It's just... a record.

S, K, and V went to Thai Temple on Russell and Adeline for Sunday brunch / lunch. Stopped by Berkeley Bowl on the way...

Those pumpkins need some Clearasil. Or a loofah.

Not quite sure what this is... it has a face though!

Pad thai, yellow curry, and squash

Pineapple chicken? Spicy beef?

Made by the lovely people at Thai Temple.
