Another Thanksgiving over:( I had a great time relaxing in Maryland!! It was chilly though – I lasted about 15 minutes playing cornhole on Thanksgiving day, and then snuggled under a blanket until dinner. I’m not very good anyway… Matt’s sis was dog sitting this guy and he was adorable!!!! Just look at that fur! We all sampled and shared lots and lots of beers! We had a traditional spread of food and I made another pumpkin pie. This dairy-free…

I’m obsessed with this new eggplant dip I found at WF. It’s tangy and sooo good with sweet potato chips. I made Kath’s pumpkin meatloaf this week! Yes, it’s ugly, but that’s because I made a one-person portion [excuses] and just kinda formed it in one corner of the loaf pan. The upside was that all the sides were crunchy end pieces. I also added bourbon in place of the water in the sauce:) I loved the pumpkin sauce so…
We’re having an amazing time here on the island. It’s chilly, but the clear blue sunny skies make up for it. A margarita kicked off the vacation and then we spent most of Wednesday afternoon catching up and showing Matt’s family around the island. Of course, we visited the wedding chapel. It’s so cute! And we enjoyed our Thanksgiving feast at the reception site!! There was Beach House red to start and then tons of family-style Thanksgiving regulars, some with…
I saw Argo on Sunday and really enjoyed it. And I loved Ben’s new look:) I heart America! I need a weekly show [not House Hunters] Found this in the grocery store…a little different but so tasty with pita chips: After all the talk of tea in the comments [thanks guys!}, I had a hot cup of peppermint this afternoon! I have kind of a big problem with hydration and tea helps with that too There’s something very attractive about…
Gloomy, rainy days sure go well with Mondays. But at least something exciting happens this week! I had a training that started a little later this morning, so I knocked out a workout at the Y. It was great because after work I definitely didn’t want to go out in the rain. The afternoon kind of dragged on, and so I was quite excited to get to go home to complete free time. I made by first batch of pumpkin…
Man, I love fall weekends. Except when it’s freezing and rainy and there’s a leak in my bedroom! But really, I have no complaints about the weekend. Friday, I barely made it out of the house, but we ended up grabbing dinner at Six Plates wine bar. A friend of ours got a major job offer and invited us to celebrate with a bottle of champagne! Of course I didn’t have my camera because I didn’t know I was going…
Whew. The past couple of days have been a whirlwind. In fact, the whole month of October has been a blur and it continues this weekend when I head to the west coast for Foodbuzz. I’m trying to savor all the fun events, but time is moving so fast. As my post last night alluded to, my friends and I had margaritas and dinner on Friday night. We then headed to a funky community space/bar called Pinhook for Scaryoke. We…
This weekend was just fabulous. I couldn’t have asked for better weather and I did a lot of relaxing. I wasn’t able to go out Friday night because of a stomach ache, but I got a great night’s sleep and was feeling energized on Saturday morning. I went to the mall to run some errands and eyed some things I might like if I’m lucky enough to get any birthday cash:) I made some last minute plans to hang out…
A grey and snowy island = ultimate relaxation . We all spent the majority of the day on the couch in front of the fire, but we ventured out just before cocktail hour for a little exercise. The snow and wind intensified on our walk and we barely lasted 30 minutes. I warmed up quickly with a home-brewed imperial pumpkin once we got back. Mmmmm. I switched to wine for dinner… We enjoyed all of the food that had been…
