Not sure what it means, but it's too pretty not to be a word!

Seems like a lot of n's, but the other way doesn't look right at all.

Thanks to @chenoameg for recommending butternut squash au gratin. This recipe crashes my browser, but the other one wanted me to infuse the herbs in the cream.

It finally occurred to me that sweet potatoes can be made into muffins. A surprisingly large number of sweet potatoes turned into two dozen muffins:

Verdict: successful but BORING. I think the next batch gets walnuts. Those who like chocolate chips in quick breads would probably like them here.

Weather Kitty says the temperature has started dropping below freezing at night, so I brought in all the tomatoes. I think there were over 5kg of them -- the volunteer plant over the spot where the sewer line broke got a late start but has been an incredible producer.
I think I found the chutney recipe I used last time, though I don't remember the pepper. I used one ageing cayenne pepper in place of all the pepper ingredients, one large onion, and 2.75 cups of vinegar. (One bottle of vinegar holds less than two cups. My recycling is going to be ridiculous this week.)
Edit to add mincemeat!

Combine:
1 leek, sliced
1 large potato, cubed
1/2 scary little red pepper, chopped fine
1/2 c milk
Microwave for 3 minutes 33 seconds
Add:
4 oz cream cheese (1/2 brick)
1/2 bunch wilted arugula (because you're never going to actually use it in a salad)
1/2 t salt
1 t dried parsley
black pepper
Microwave for 2 minutes
Add:
3 eggs
1/2 c grated cheddar
Bake in a flat ceramic dish at 350 for 40 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.
Really yummy, but I might have used too much potato.

I'm pretty sure I'm spelling it right, but darn that looks wrong.

Seven servings of Moosewood's very creamy cheese and potato soup, and a dozen carrot muffins in preparation. On a day that's too hot and muggy even for me. What was I thinking?

Unintentional
I was looking for a word that meant "without clear intent". Oddly, this wasn't it. I ended up using "unmindful".
