So two weeks later...we bought Dance Dance Revolution for our Wii...so much fun! It's like dancing, having fun and exercising.
We had to do something - I've made a fresh loaf of bread every other day for the past two weeks. If we keep this up we'll have to purchase our own wheat field (..and mill) soon!
the first snow feels a little late...funny thing about a blog is that i can see that we had a couple inches here on our porch last year on september 22. this morning revealed the second snow up high. the first one was last week. jeremy hiked up the mountain this morning and took a bunch of pictures.
Mt. Daly really had a lot of snow.
Winter's coming - and around here everyone is pretty excited.
jeremy made the best all local chile rellnos last night and butternut squash soup. we're on the last week of the 'eat local' challenge. i'm still loving my coffee and wine. (although i noticed i've had a few more lunches out lately...)
that's my coffee. with fewer drink choices in our 'eat local' month i really think a lot about my coffee and wine. thanks goodness we kept coffee. without diet coke it's nice to have something. and i definitely look forward to my wine come evening. you'd think i'd be drinking a lot more water (we have really good water here), but not so much - a lot more coffee though.
the bunny is next to me in her cage on the floor. i'm giving her water from a little plastic syringe and food three times a day. she's actually looking a little better today, but still not feeding herself. let's hope she makes that next leap!
even better then that event though was the seminar on the cheese course aftwerwards. we were seated in a smaller tent and we each had five wines with 7 cheeses (and a single varietal honey). the seminar was wonderful!
I would do it all again - now!
the wine guy is the wine director at bin 36 in chicago (the menu looks great - let's go next time!). The cheese expert was Laura Werlin - the two soft cheeses on the right side were my favorites.
sometimes i think i need to be crafting to make content (which would be ideal), but sometimes there's a lot going on... and then i remember that there are so many people out there making so many cool computer/blog toys... how cool are these cards?!? (from blyberg and i saw it on knitting in pink)
Wow - I really checked out - I guess the winter and constant snow has made me unable to track time... design*sponge posted this really amazing installation piece today by Doris Salcedo.
So, in a slightly earlier life I worked at a film festival for a couple years. We ran a shorts festival - maybe I've seen 2,000 shorts - that's probably a little high, but it was a lot. whip up posted this short today... I always like a good animated short!
The Boy found the first buds of spring this week!
It has been unseasonably warm and I know we need more snow to keep the ski season in shape, but it's always nice to know that spring is coming.
