Yep, just the sides and I figured this way we wouldn’t be removing part of the mantle, so if we ever wanted to undo it, it would just take some patching and paint to put back to the way it is.

I’ve looked a little but ultimately settled on the classic subscription for the Switch since we already had the console.

And they’d be about an inch short of the ceiling which is enough wiggle room to get them up there easily and the gap can be covered with a little molding.

The bottom bookshelves are 43” wide and the unfinished furniture store has them in 6” increments, so I can either get 36” or 42”.

This house needs more bookshelves. Should I get some unfinished ones and have them anchored to the wall on top of the mantle?

For the group chat and whoever else wants a nice autumnal lasagne recipe

2 tsp. Oil
1-1/2 cups thinly sliced red onion
1-1/2 Tbsp. sliced garlic
6 oz. baby spinach
¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
1/3 cup milk
3 oz. provolone cheese, torn into pieces
1-1/2 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 - 20 oz. butternut squash
1 cup ricotta cheese
1-1/2 oz. gruyere cheese, grated

Yield: 1 - 8x8 glass baking dish.
Preheat oven to 350.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add onion and garlic; sauté for 4 minutes. Add spinach and sauté until wilted; remove from heat.
Place yogurt, milk, and provolone in a blend, blend for 20 seconds. Add flour, salt and eggs; blend 1 minute.
Peel the neck of the squash. Cut the neck from the bulb; and slice the neck into 24 long slices 1/8 inch thick. Place squash slices in the baking dish, cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 4 minutes or until almost tender.
Remove the squash from the baking dish. Coat the dish with cooking spray; spread ½ cup of the yogurt mixture in the bottom of the pan.
Shingle 1/3 of the squash over the yogurt mixture. Top with 1/3 of the ricotta, 1/3 of the spinach mixture, and 1/3 of the remaining yogurt mixture. Repeat twice ending with the yogurt mixture.
Sprinkle lasagna with Gruyere. Cover dish with foil and bake for 60 minutes. Remove foil and broil until lightly browned.
A double recipe will fit in a 9x13 pan.

Clyde last night when I was going to knit. He leaned his cheek against my hand and would pop up with an insulted look if I tried to move it.

I should try tossing this in the comments of the post on our town’s Facebook that’s entirely people griping that they weren’t personally informed by the DPW that road lines were being painted today. 🙄

It’s so much easier to roll out of bed when you do have to get up!

My grandpa used to make fried cornmeal mush, but he served it with syrup instead of gravy.

Mine didn’t come out as thick as hers, but I think my butter was a bit warmer than it should’ve been.

Looks over at the Home Reserve one whose cleaning is such a process that it basically requires me getting both kids and pets out of the house for a weekend.

I think I’m going to go get a flat of tomatoes from a local farm just so I can get started on making sauce. A because, obviously, once I buy tomatoes the ones in my garden will immediately ripen.

I don’t if it’s the weather or if Amish Pastes are that different from my usual San Marzanos, but there’s been full size tomatoes on the vines for almost a month and almost none of them have started to blush
