November 30, 2009: Turkey Leftovers

My parents brought over some Thanksgiving leftovers today. It is one of the best things about this holiday, don't you think?

November 29, 2009: Mitsuwa

The closest we can come to being in Tokyo while we're here in the states is to go to Mitsuwa in Edgewater, NJ. So we took Adina and Steph there today.

November 28, 2009: Guggenheim Museum

Chad and I were practically running to catch a bus to go across Central Park to Knitty City, but I still took the time to snap a couple photos of the Guggenheim.

November 27, 2009: Rockefeller Plaza

Here is Steph leaning over to take a fun photo of ... something. Check out all the ice skaters at the famous Rockefeller Plaza.

November 26, 2009: Joslyn+ Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was Joslyn+ because Adina and Steph joined us! Chad and Matt were there too. It was a great time. Even the turkey was happy!

November 25, 2009: Guests are Coming

Adina and Steph are coming to spend the night on Thanksgiving, so we're cleaning the house! I love getting it all clean (although it's never ALL clean, ya know?).

November 24, 2009: Toe Checkup

I went in today for my (hopefully) final check up for my toe. I've spent way too much time in this office (this is my 5th visit). But I'm getting my toes all fixed up, so it's ok.

November 22, 2009: Sweet Endings

Ending, beginning, in the middle. Doesn't matter, I could eat this frozen yogurt any time! I get it simple, without toppings because I like the yogurt so much.

November 21, 2009: Lobster Bisque Awesomeness

We went to lunch/dinner with Deb and Bud today at Brasserie 73 in Skippack. The food was fantastic. I especially liked this lobster bisque with puff pastry top.

November 19, 2009: Chili Poached Egg

Tonight we made some poached eggs and put them over chili that we had made earlier and then put that all on an english muffin. It was divine.

November 18, 2009: Another Golder Thanksgiving

Every year, we have a big potluck Thanksgiving celebration at my office. We get turkey, ham, and gravy catered, and then everyone brings a dish to share.

November 17, 2009: Bloody Sock

I had minor surgery done on my toe today. When I got home, I turned around and saw red on the floor! I bled through my sock and bandages. Eewww.

November 14, 2009: A.C. Moore Opens

A new A.C. Moore store opened in Willow Grove. This is the best thing ever because they have such better stuff than Michael's! I see us going here a lot!

November 13, 2009: Caulking the Tub

I worked on putting new caulk around the tub today - something I've been avoiding forever. Unfortunately, I got clear caulk, so it looks kind of funny. Oops.

November 12, 2009: Messy Bag

My small bag that I use to carry my essentials is quite full. It's a bit of a mess because I just throw everything in the one main compartment. The bag was $5 in Japan.

November 11, 2009: Bug Bite or Something

I took this photo of some kind of bug bite on my arm but I have no idea what it was from. Maybe it was something else entirely. I guess we'll never know. Strange.

November 10, 2009: Frozen Oatmeal

Once a week or so I make a batch of 6 servings of steel cut oatmeal and I freeze in in a muffin tray. It's awesome because then I can have breakfast at work all week.

November 9, 2009: My Macbook Carrier

This is the cute bag I got from Target a few years ago to carry around my Macbook. It lives next to my bed and is always ready for me when I need it!

November 8, 2009: Mushroom Cobbler

I made the Wild Mushroom Cobbler tonight from the New Vegetarian Epicure. This is possibly the best food in the whole world! Thanks for the book, Adina!

November 7, 2009: Fig Tree Loses its Leaves

Look at the beautiful fig leaves! I love how they have this purply color along with light green veins running through them.

November 6, 2009: Netflix Streaming Disc

We received our Netflix PS3 Streaming disc. It is totally amazing! We can watch all of Netflix's Instant Watch media directly on the TV. Some even in HD!

November 5, 2009: Adina and Steph Visit

We met Adina and Steph for dinner tonight in Philly and afterwards, we went to one of our favorite places. Scoop de Ville! Nom nom nom.

November 4, 2009: Happy Hard Drive

Here are my 2 external hard drives that total 2 TB of wonderful amazing storage.

November 3, 2009: Bissinger's Catalog

Heather introduced me to Bissinger's a few years ago. Their chocolate covered fruits are amazing. Look how wonderful these chocolates look!!

November 2, 2009: The File Room

This is the file room at my office. On this particular day,it was almost impossible to get in because of all the boxes and the stairs.

November 1, 2009: Leftover Candy

There was a lot of candy left after Halloween, I think because it starrted pouring so everyone went home. We got to watch the Phillies game as a result!

October 31, 2009: Halloween Napping

My parents came over for Halloween to help give out candy and to watch the Phillies game. Since the game was delayed it went on late! Mom and Chad fell asleep. Cute.

October 30, 2009: Eggs en Coquette

Chad saw this recipe online and decided to make it. It's eggs and cheese baked in a ramekin with some salt and pepper. You eat it with toast. It was tasty.

October 26, 2009: New CDs!

Deb and Bud gave me my birthday presents tonight and it was great! I got three CDs I've been wanting, including the most recent Portishead!!

October 25, 2009: Time to Rake Leaves

Bud took care of their leaves today, but I didn't. So there was this clear line marking the property boundary. I thought it was pretty funny.

October 24, 2009: Phillies Phever

The Phillies are in the World Series again and everyone has Phillies Phever. Daryl's bakery in Glenside was selling these cute Phillies cupcakes.

October 23, 2009: More No-Knead Bread

I told you I was obsessed. This time we made 2 loaves and froze one of them. It worked out great! Chad added some spices to this one and it was yummy (rosemary and such).

October 22, 2009: National League Champions

Sometime after midnight, the Phillies won their game and became the National League champions! The game was tons of fun - the crowd was just crazy.

October 21, 2009: Insanity at Citizens Bank Park

My dad got tickets for tonight's playoff game, so he, Erin and I went down to the ballpark. Check out the insane crowd at McFaddens!

October 20, 2009: Friendly's Goodbye

We met Aunt Beth and Mom-mom at Friendly's tonight for dinner. Aunt Beth is leaving for Disney this weekend. She's going down for 3 weeks! Can you believe it?!

October 18, 2009: The TSR Crew at Breakfast

Wow - what a harrowing weekend we ended up having! Way too much happened to describe here, but needless to say, I was glad to be heading home at this point.

October 17, 2009: NY Sheep and Wool Festival

Today was the NY Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck. It was a bit cold, but fun anyway. Look at the sweet goat!

October 16, 2009: Luna 61

We got up to Rhinebeck today and headed to Tivoli for dinner. We didn't eat at Luna 61 (that's for tomorrow night) but we did walk past and take photos!

October 13, 2009: CD Swap Rhinebeckian Roadtrip

The TSR CD Swap group decided to put together roadtrip mixes to listen to on our way up to and back from Rhinebeck this coming weekend. Can't wait to listen!

October 12, 2009: Revealing the Fridge

I'm revealing the inside of our fridge for the first time since getting our new one. I love this fridge so much. It's so easy to get stuff in and out. And it doesn't leak! Yay!!

October 11, 2009: Fall Pumpkin Display

We bought these pumpkins at Terrain yesterday and Chad arranged them nicely on our sideboard. I love the fall, it's such a great season.

October 10, 2009: Terrain in the Fall

We met Adina and Steph for brunch at Terrain at Styer's today. It was a ton of fun. Check out this wacky peanut pumpkin! We also went to Highland Orchards for apples.

October 9, 2009: CD Reflections

I was sitting upstairs and noticed this crazy reflection on the ceiling. It is from several CDs that were sitting on the stool next to me.

October 8, 2009: No Knead Bread

I am obsessed with no-knead bread. It takes some planning (about 24 hours notice) but it's so easy and it almost always come out perfectly.

October 6, 2009: Making Vegetable Stock

I recently discovered how easy and satisfying it is to make my own vegetable stock. I was inspired by veganyumyum.com. I now need to buy a real stock pot.

October 5, 2009: New Lens! Sigma 17-70mm

My parents gave me this new lens for my camera for my birthday. I've been dying for a better lens and this one really delivers. It's a Sigma 17-70mm and I love it!

October 4, 2009: Curry Croquette

The Korean bakery near us (Paris Baguette Cafe) makes these awesome curry croquettes. I had one this morning and it was delicious. I used my new lens for this photo!

October 3, 2009: Birthday Phillies Game

We went to a Phillies game tonight for my birthday. We asked them not to come to the seat and sing for me, but they did anyway. It was a good time!

October 2, 2009: Key Lime Cheesecake

We celebrated my birthday at my parents' house tonight and my mom made me a key lime cheesecake. It's my favorite and it was so delicious. Reminded me of ASIJ.

October 1, 2009: Acorns

I found these acorns while I was out in Ohio and I thought they looked fun, so brought a few home so I could photograph them.
