| The 'pumpkin' was actually frozen butternut squash from last year's harvest. |

| This is the first time I've ever had home-made mayo. How can I ever go back? Good job, Cassie! |
During lunch I asked the family what they enjoy about this experience so far and what they might miss.
Little things like Jiff peanut butter were missed, though the 'other' peanut butter is 'okay.'
Little things like how nice it is to linger at the table during and after meals since there is so much more to talk about.
Little things like working together to figure out what to eat or how to make what we want using our know-how.
Little things like weight coming off, sleep coming easily, grocery money lasting longer, and fabulous homemade vanilla ice-cream made with evaporated cane sugar.
Little things like no hunger, no sugar withdrawals.
Little things like one daughter saying, "I hope we stick with this beyond October."
And satisfying.

I used to make our mayo, once upon a country home. It was pretty easy to do, if I recall correctly.
Will you mind if I link to your place here from a blog post (if I get to it, that is)? I'm watching yours and Marianne's progress this month with interest and might share the enjoyment.
You made your own mayo, Deanna! Cool. Yes, it's really very very easy. The only downside is that it doesn't keep long and we don't eat much of it. Alas, we do have a cake recipe that calls for a cup of the stuff. That will help.
Sure, link away!
