Apple Gingerbread in the Oven

I've got a skillet of apple gingerbread in the oven and the whole house smells like Fall. All in all this has been a pretty busy day for me. I got all the laundry and errands done yesterday. So today I worked through the frig getting things that were about to turn the corner made up into food items for the week. So far I've converted an elderly cabbage into a yummy cole slaw, took 4 past their prime apples and made the aforementioned gingerbread, and cut up a bunch of zucchini- onions- & garlic to make a stir fry base. I've got brown rice bubbling away in a pot to go with the stir fry. And last but not least I've got a trail dinner in the oven for Hutch. 

The weather is nice and cool around here. So after the basic clean of the house this morning, I had to decide whether to be outdoors or indoors. There was just too much that needed to be done in the house so reluctantly I stayed inside. I'm still working my way down my list.

We got Ernie the dog back from our son last night. He's settling in nicely. I still need to run three miles this afternoon. *Sigh* best get back to the chores.
