The only thing I think I'm buying this weekend is some yeast and a
prime rib roast to put in the freezer for when I go to visit my
daughter and family for Christmas.
I'm pretty well stocked for this week. I do want to make a pizza
though after reading the pizza thread and I already have the toppings
for it.
Oh! and I'm also going to buy some frozen puree of winter squash for a
mac and cheese recipe I saw on the cooking show Healthy Appetite on
food t. v.

I hope I can stay with just these few items.
