Weekend Musings

A small recap of my weekend…

Two packs for the price of one out of the vending machine is always a nice mid-afternoon surprise.

Anybody that can write that neatly in chocolate deserves to be acknowledged. I don’t know where you find these people, Eastern Standard, but I applaud you. (And thanks for dinner, Mom and Dad! :))

It’s gourd season. Look close and you can see mine. Anybody who doesn’t love gourds has a screw loose. They the coolest in my book.

Having my sister visit on Saturday night means we had a four-legged visitor, too. And Miss Lola had no problem making herself right at home. She needs no lessons in the comfort department, I can tell you that.

And finally, no fall Sunday is complete without one of these puppies. Pumpkin beer (I recommend Dogfish Head Punkin, but our liquor store was out so we used a different kind), vanilla bean ice cream, whipped cream (I made ours, with a little vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar. Amazing), and Ginger Snap cookies. Go make one now, and you can thank me later.
Here’s a better picture (the ones we made last year), to drive the point home.

And now, it’s Monday. I’ve got a 5-miler planned for after work. I never got my run in on Friday, so I’ll let you know how that goes.

Happy Monday!
