Baleboste

If I were on the phone with my mom, and I will be in a minute*, she would be going on and on about how I'm such the "bal-e-boos-ter." I seriously have been cooking up a storm for the last couple of days, and specifically for tomorrow, and now that I just pulled out the 'nomicon Chickpea Cutlets out of the oven, I'm officially done.

The original recipe makes 4 cutlets, but I quadrupled the recipe cause I don't mess. These are, of course, delicious (I had to taste one!), but that wasn't exactly a surprise since these have been made for me at least three times by Jess during cookbook testing. Also in the fridge and on the menu for tomorrow: Hazelnut Stuffing (one with chanterelles and one without for the mushroom hater in our lives), Punk Rock Chickpea Gravy, Kuri Squash and Roasted Root Soup, Spiced Cider, Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie, and I think that's it! My sister will be making roasted brussels, roots, and and and...

Someone want to come over before 5pm and help me finish some leftover cauliflower hummus, coconut-y squash and taro soup, and some bell peppers???


*I just got off the phone with my dad, not my mom, and when I told him about the Chickpea Cutlets and tried to explain what they were, my dad exclaims "Oh, Chickpea Cutlets! I ate those two nights last week!" Yeah, har har Dad!
