Week 42 in Photos

I've been laying pretty low this past week and I'm not exactly sure I can explain why. I think maybe it will just take me some time to adjust back to my normal home life. I need to fall back into my 'home' routine and this past week wasn't exactly a good chance to settle back in. It was a very busy week (at work) with not much free time at home in the evenings. I think the entire week slipped by without me spending any time at my home computer. These pictures are the only shred of memory that will remind me of what I did.

It was so very nice to have a real home-cooked meal. Karlo made a batch of his Hungarian veggie soup and we enjoyed it for days.

This was a real treat. For some reason you can't buy one of my favorite beers here in CT so our friend from PA brought some up from home for his visit to us. We spent this night entertaining him at home.

I'm just appreciating some creature comforts of home. I was so loving spending this night on the couch with my favorite blanket.

Went for a walk at lunchtime and captured a small speck of fall color.

The highlight of this day was, of course, going to Boston to see Sting. Luckily Karlo graciously backed out of using his ticket and I made a deal with a friend . . . "You drive me to Boston and the ticket is free."  Best deal I ever made. I ended up having a great dinner and great time while Karlo was happily in the seclusion of home. But he's on the hook for tomorrow night, when he will be escorting me to see Sting in CT. Fingers crossed that it goes as smoothly.

Tonight was another one of our group themed dinners. It was a repeat on Mexican night and I was, once again, in charge of dips. My spinach dip was a huge success and crowd favorite. I also lost my mind and decided to bake a few batched of tortillas using the never reliable convection oven. No wonder I agreed to a shot of tequila, after the horrific kitchen experience I had leading up to dinner.

We took a couple of short motorcycle rides this weekend to try to capture some of the Fall beauty. I think Northeast CT is way past peak at this point, but it was still nice.
