Day 9: Leftovers and baking with the kids

So today was very productive. First order of business was cleaning out the fridge (including a full scrub down). It was then I realized how much leftovers we have and decided not to cook tonight. But then... our neighbor brought over some plums he didn't know what to do with and NOFA-NY's daily e-mail mentioned a plum upside-down cake. It was fate. I was home with the kids so googled a recipe and it was baking for us! I enlisted their help and settled on this Blueberry-Plum Upside-Down Cake using blueberries we had picked and froze earlier in the season. It does have two types of non-local sugar, but the rest is all local!

I don't like to brag, but it turned out to be one pretty looking cake (and didn't taste bad either). While I was photographing the cake, my daughter Bea sneaked over to take a peek so I had to include that photo (and, yes, if you were wondering, my son is "drinking" flour out of a measuring cup in the top photo).

This morning we had corn/carrot fritters for breakfast that were yummy. Overall, a good day! Now it's back to eating a week's full of leftovers.
