fall food.






we've been eating very well lately. we had a celebration for autumn and we had a fancy fancy dinner just because we're that fancy. 
for our fall party we had seven people for dinner! we ate butternut squash soup out of bread bowls and our couchsurfer, chad, made this veg and cheese medley. i didn't eat it, but he was getting tispy from the wine and didn't seem offended when i told him i was too picky for veg medleys. afterwards raul made apple cider that was good on its own. the boys felt it needed rum as well. 
tonight i made braised lamb sirloins cooked in a red wine vinegar, shallot and mushroom reduction ... and i came up with it by myself... maybe i did learn something in chicago. i also made asparagus, and garlic mashed potatoes. we also made a baked brie and dipped apples, carrots, pears and bread in the melted goodness. and laurel ate the meat! i feel most honoured because she doesn't eat meat. maybe she choked it down for my sake, but either way it was almost gone in the end. raul made sugar cookies and made us homemade ice cream sandwiches with blackberry cabernet gelato. it's insane how awesome the three of us are.

the debate

clearly i have an attention span of a ten year old and i forgot about this blog. 

the debate last night was great. i ate pizza and cheered on obama. but seriously, i think it was good. i was frustrated for obama and annoyed that mccain's arguments always had something to do with people he's known for at least 30 years. i thought obama got his stride after the first 15-20 minutes and really made some great points about the war and the bailout. 

and the debate on saturday night live was great too. it captured the essence of the real debate and i laughed out loud.... which i haven't done when watching snl since the reruns i saw on comedy central. 

also kenan's getting some new roles, he's not just playing cosby anymore. i'm proud.
