I'm not sure why I had a pound of rye berries in the pantry, but I now have two quart jars full of rye flour. Guess I'll be making rye bread today and trying to suppress the memory of the nasty migraine I had after eating pumpernickel rye bread in cooking school (only 10.5 years ago or so...). I've got my trusty copy of King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking here, hopefully I'll find something that sounds good and for which I have the ingredients.

Meanwhile, I'm simply thrilled with the feeling that there's an elephant sitting on my chest. Luckily(?) it only seems to be noticeable when I'm sitting or lying down, so if I stay on my feet all day I should be fine. Ha.

There's also a butternut squash in the oven. I don't know what I'm going to do with it, but I needed to make a little room on the pantry counter. I still have another butternut, a buttercup, several delicata, and two sugar pumpkins as well, so it's not like this freed up a ton of space, but every inch in my kitchen makes a difference.

I really want a new kitchen.

Time for sudafed and cookbook perusal.
