i've been reading the allrecipes website alot lately. which isn't really new, but it's starting to get a little old. every recipe says "the best ________" or "my family loves them" they can't all be the best, and really who is going to say "gee auntie, next time bring chips ahoy" (i'm looking at cookie recipes). i'd really rather descriptions like pinky's wine. specific things, like the flavor is like this, this ingredient adds this to the dish. maybe i'm just picky. i've been doing alot of things without recipes lately. sort of rifling through my new moosewood cookbook and mixing a bunch of ideas together. it's been fun.
we decorated for halloween today. i've been putting the last pieces of my costume together as well. i've got a broom, and a quill. i just need to write gringotts on a piece of cardboard and i'm all set. exactly one person will get it, but it'll make me happy. i've given up on having trick or treaters so i'll have to have my fun at work. i talked to my sister saturday and i learned that reid is going to be a teradactyl(very wrong spelling) and grace is going to be dumbo. i can hardly stand the adorableness. dumbo.
town is gearing up for the end of the season. everyone is trying to sell as much as possible before boarding up. 50% off sales everywhere. i might try to do some christmas shopping. who doesn't want a HIKE ACADIA hat for christmas? the plan is more to get a half off tourmaline for my sister. and silly earrings for matt's mom, if i can find any. she loves silly earrings. my mother would never wear earrings in the shape of tiny boots, but matt's mom is all over it. it's kind of fun actually. i expect everyone else is getting books, but it's early days yet.
