To conserve water, just remember the old California saying. If it's yellow let it mellow, when it's brown flush it down.
That's my philosophy.

It sounds delicious. My wife and I have always made fresh cranberry relish: grind in a food processor 2 packages of cranberries, 1 orange, sugar to taste, brandy to taste. Let marinate a few days in the fridge.... I am baking some wild salmon, roasting some local sweet potatoes, beets and courgettes (zucchini), and making bread pudding with apples and cranberries.
Tomorrow is Canadian Thanksgiving. I am having friends over and we are doing the 100 mile diet. I am at my vacation place in the Okanagan Valley , British Columbia. Spent my morning shopping and my afternoon grappling with a 4 lb squash. I'm making this recipe:

Currently, it's simmering on the stove and I can tell that I need to blend some of it to reduce the particulate matter content. Right now the kitchen smells of parsley, sage and thyme: wonderful!

Okanagan wines and artisan goat cheese will compliment the meal and the casing of the squash will provide seasonal decor.
Water's back on, Yay! The still-unlocated leak is on another branch, so they shut that off, and turned our water on.
I'll tell you, losing water (or power) for a while sure makes you appreciate it fully. What a luxury to turn the tap and have water come out. I'm so happy, I'm going to just prance around in my apron!

Air had gotten into my fuel lines preventing fuel from reaching the engine. I suspect a leaky fuel filter was the source of the problem and the leak is now repaired (loose drain valve).
I posted my experience on a diesel engine forum and got confirmation of what I suspected was the cause. I don't think it is a common problem but is something the old diesel heads were certainly aware could happen.Wow! Is this a common problem?
