Early Thanksgiving

A wonderful weekend up north. A quick weekend trip, but the drive time was significantly reduced, so shorter trips are now possible. A weekend of family, good food, a fire in the fireplace from the first coffee to pjs and apple pie. Our early Thanksgiving with Steak was wonderful. We walked down to the water to take a few family photos and a few artsy photos. The flowers were from Andre and me for mom and Mimi. Reading by the fire made the work much more tolerable. Work's been steady at school and I have 6 orders for onesies! YAY! A little hobby turned profit :) Tomorrow is Dre and my 6 year anniversary...looking forward to steak when I come home from a long day and night of classes. Dre makes great meals, so a quiet evening at home with wine and a wonderful meal will be a perfect way to celebrate.

Doug- The CD was great - Dre and I love listening to it!

Gloxy - Love the photos! Keep 'em comin'!

Doe - how's my old job?

EmilyKatherine - Good luck with the job hunt

and Dre' Happy Anniversary Baby...I Love you.

soup

Tried my hand at some cooking today in between doing psychology homework. Two soups and a coffee cake later and only one fire. not bad. a great day for soup. the first soup was Italian meatballs with veggies and noodles, the second, an apple chicken curry (reminds me of a chutney) and a simple apple coffee cake, which only burned slightly on top. apparently, when they say 9x9, they don't mean or whatever pan you would rather use. pot holders should be fire retardant, don't you think? that's just dumb. and who knew that a burner was like fire. i thought it was just a hot contained coil. not so much.
