Food and Fall...

With the chillier temps outside we've been excited to get cozy at home, wearing our down booties, drinking hot coffee all day, and oh the food, the food! - been cooking a lot of comfort foods and devouring it with much enthusiasm...Tasty chicken yellow curry (with jasmine rice, we just bought 25 lbs from the asian market)..Dan's been making a lot of great breads from the Artisan Breads in 5 minutes or less book...I just made a super easy apple cake using a recipe from this blog. So far it smells like Fall from the oven, so I think it's a winner.....earlier this week I made some fried tofu cutlets with an impromptu BBQ sauce and spinach mashed potatoes...Shrimp tacos with a garbanzo bean and cabbage slaw! We have been eating well for sure. I am also SO excited to cook for Thanksgiving...we're having the orphan's Thanksgiving at the neighbor's house with a few others (maybe) on their newly acquired retro kitchen table complete with 4 inches of chrome wrapping around the edge...

oh yeah, go Tide! bouncing back after a very sad loss to LSU last week, we beat mississippi state university handsomely. Dan and I walked down to the Alcove Tavern and had a couple pints along with a catered free meal from the Innisfree Pub (pasta salad, mac and cheese, and a chipotle glazed pork loin..we had seconds, no shame when it comes to free food, especially good free food...)

ok, time to check on the apple cake...let's hope for the best!
