Moussaka 9/21. Made with about half each eggplant and zucchini. Used ground turkey in place of lamb or beef. White sauce could have been thicker. Recipe from _The_Food_of_Greece_, but there are of course many similar ones findable on the 'net, e.g. <http://allrecipes.com/recipe/moussaka/>, which I also loosely followed. Comments there were useful too.

Baked Pacific Cod, cheese (sharp cheddar) grits, and green chard from the garden 9/23.

Butternut Squash Pasties 9/24. Made 150% of this recipe:

Was very popular with the family. Plus, I think I've gotten pastry down cold (note how nice and flaky it is in the photo). My crimping technique needs work though.

Finally, Baja Fish Tacos last night 9/25. I was pleased at how light and crunchy the batter turned out (used both baking powder and seltzer and barely mixed it). Cabbage drizzled with lime juice, sour cream and yogurt mixture with lime zest, pepper, and chopped scallions, chopped fresh jalepenos and cilantro and sharp cheddar as optional toppings. Choice of corn or flour tortillas (we all chose corn).
