I have a good start on the brush pile at the curb, but altered plans because a lot of the privet I've been trimming is slim enough to go into the chipper so I'll run the chipper in the morning with the branches that fit then everything else goes out to the curb.

Last night and tonight I used 1/4 of a large tandoori bread from the freezer for a small personal pizza; topping with various things out of the fridge and using Alfredo sauce because I'm out of jar tomato sauce. I'll be making some of that soon. This works out to three slim slices per pizza, just enough, and part of what I'm using are some mozzarella balls in olive oil that were purchased for Caprese salad but the tomato season is finished.

During my no-spend September it means I didn't add pasta sauce to the shopping list, I'll make it from scratch with some of the tons of tomatoes I've canned and frozen here over the summer (and I still have canned from last summer to use first). I'll probably start the sauce in a saucepan and let it reduce in a crock pot. Instead of buying snacks I made a small batch of cardamom cookies, I've been making popcorn, etc. I should do this all of the time.

A fire sounds nice, Dorothy, but it's too soon here. And I fear I'd burn down the neighborhood. I stick to the burning barrel only after a good rain.
