Visions of football dance in my head...

Mittens, glorious mittens. This is the...(looks at hand) left mitten. It is beautiful the superwash wool was an excellent choice because now they are ready for snowball fights, or whatever else winter in Conn. might throw my way. Been pretty mellow around the apartment. Football season is back, thank the gods, so the bf and I are back to debating about which 2 games to watch on the the two tvs in the living room.

I'm trying to find a dining room table set for Thanksgiving with the impending 12 people on their way!!! Oh boy, can you say nervous. Not to mention the fact that I've never even met some of the relatives from Ralph's family that are visiting. To be one hundred percent honest, I'm just excited to see my parents. I saw my Dad in April or May, but other than that no visits since the funerals at the beginning of the year. And let me tell you, nothing says fun like 3 funerals in a month. Or quality time for that matter. I want to visit some fun stuff in Jax, since the bf and I haven't done all that much exploring. (Work has been hectic, to put it mildly)

Been having really strange dreams lately. Like really strange, involving freaky weird creatures like half mermaid half lion creatures, coupled with people from high school that I haven't seen in six years. Does that mean I've entered some sort of quarter life crisis? Oh well, I'm too busy for one of the those anyway.

I updated my ravelry page, finally. Including pics of the cotton sweater and some other stuff.

So in the mean time Go Bucs, Go Gators, and may my fantasy football team recover the loss of my starting quarterback...(knew I hated the f*cker Tom Brady).

PEACE AND LOVE

Someone's in the Kitchen with...

So I was in the kitchen a lot today. Seemed like a good day to have a big meal. Below is Lauren's extra awesome Banana Nut Bread (made with Pecans because, that's how we roll in the south) and chocolate chips. Its super, duper, uper yumm-tastic. I am willing to share the recipe (grudgingly), just put in a request in the comment section.
Next up...Brussel sprouts. I love them. Even the bf doesn't mind eating them when I cook them, and my Dad says they are the best. Nothing special really, just saute some garlic in a little olive oil and butter, see the butter is the secret. Then add a lot of onion and a ton of brussel sprouts cover over medium heat and voila! I promise to update my ravelry account soon because I am trying to finish a new cotton sweater, as well as the Brooklyn Tweed mittens. Check out his new hat pattern. Seriously the man is a knitting god. I love the green one, but if I knit with anymore green my fingers will develop a hue that many might believe is gangrene.

We are patiently awaiting Hanna's approach...fingers crossed that we can weather this storm as as well as we weathered Fay.

PEACE AND LOVE
