we did a bit of a tour of the st laurent. we stayed in trois rivieres and took day trips to montreal and quebec city. mostly we drove around and ate alot which is a nice change of pace from working alot and eating alot. amy let me cook for her, as though she'd really stop me, and i tried to teach her how to make mac and cheese. if she's tuning in i'd also like to say that the fish chowder was a lot better the next day and i really rather impressed myself. not that it's hard exactly.
matt and i are going to use the rest of the apples tonight. his father offered me jars if i canned my applesauce, which i guess is a compliment.
i have an inexplicable urge to subscribe to the martha stewart magazine. i was browsing in it a bit at the bookstore last night and it's really very fun. i'll probably never go out and buy old fashioned candy jars and print labels for them that say "dastardly treats, dissatisfaction guaranteed" but if i had the jars around already, i might be persuaded. i'll probably never dry fresh cocscumb(i really have no idea if i've spelled that right) and put it under glass to pretend it's some one's brain, but i might upend the glass, and leave a trail of oooze where the brain should be. that would be cheaper, and more ooogy.
i'll probably never spray paint my pumpkins black, or buy white ones, but i think they both looked pretty cool. maybe if i had children to frighten a glowing black pumpkin would be more worthwile. i wonder how much self respect it would cost to get a subscription?
