We pulled up the remains of the Cannellini beans than I planted late.
Some of them had finally matured and the rest are still green. I have
them on a screen in the greenhouse to finish drying. Maybe I will see
what condition the greenish ones are in. Maybe I can soak and can
them if there is enough, or just cook and eat them. And start them
earlier next year.

Otherwise I just need to finish up (dice and freeze in foodsaver bags)
the peppers on the counter, make the recipe for butternut, apple and
chipotle soup someone mentioned in the cooking group. Went to the
Mexican grocery and found the chipotles in adobe. And we have 1 more
acorn squash to use up.

Also think I will get my fruitcakes made soon. Both boys are supposed
to be here for Thanksgiving so I will get some stuff made for them so
I don't have to ship it.
