I've been cooking a lot more than usual.  In the past couple weeks I've made latkes, soup, brownies, apple cake, and homemade mac and cheese.  I made a stop after work today to pick up all ingredients for a pie I'm making tomorrow for Saturday's pie bake-off.

Tasting Adam's beer.  He grew the hops in his backyard and brewed it in his basement.  Quite tasty.

So many leaves.  So, so, so many.  Ugh.  But I got a leaf blower and it is great.

Election night.  I worked over 13 hours covering the Voter ID amendment.  I love coloring in the country blue and red as the returns come in.  It's like March Madness but with crayons.
