Some delish spicy fish tacos before replacing outlets in wee Aidan's room!

I lost 3 acorn squash. They got a bad case of white mold. I'll be lucky if the last 2 survive after my heavy prune job.

I found a large cucumber while pruning. A tone of baby watermelon some of which I took out for the sake of the larger 2 getting the most focus. My tomatoes are dealing with some rusting of the leaves but it is getting cold up here so they could just be reacting to that.

Some updates on wee Aidan's room! Layer 1 of paint is on the walls thanks to my mate & mother in law! Dan finished the built in shelf. We spent yesterday after I got off work sanding the drawers & he stained part. Once the second layer of stain is added & all buffed it'll be ready to paint the edging!

I got a little motivated today and made some Bourbon Salted Caramel sauce and Cranberry Pumpkin butter. Proud of myself .... & yet I should have taken the puppy to get her nails clipped and gone grocery shopping....

After a full day of making holiday boxes and filling the candy case at work, I came home to make my own candies for Yuletide. Super excited which makes my boss laugh. His comment to me @ 2:30 pm was "I don't want you to get burnt out." I laughed. Sure I'd been there since 8 this morning but it's a different task then I'm normally doing at work so I was fine.

Anywho! Candy!

Last week I made my own peppermint bark. Came out pretty awesome if I say so myself. It took a few days since I was working on it only at night after work. However, tonight I am making a whole slue of things.

1.) Honey & sea salt roasted, dark chocolate almond bark

2.) Coconut dark chocolate bark

3.) Dried fruit dark chocolate bark

4.) Apple granola

I stopped at Fresh Thyme market on my way home and really meant to only pick up enough chocolate for my almond bark …. Clearly my 3lbs was too much chocolate!
