quick update
ok, so eric said he would post but he has been distracted by our broken dishwasher, hence my quick update. 🙂
we haven’t been up to a whole lot around here. on the weekends we usually hit either the boulder farmer’s market or the longmont farmer’s market. favorite tasties have included local organic apples, peaches, veggies, some fresh s.f. sourdough (yum!) and lots of other stuff.
last weekend we drove up to estes park for their horror and suspense film festival. we got to view about 5 short films and 1 feature film, which was pretty fun. i liked the shorts better, the feature wasn’t spooky.
and since the growing season is winding down here in our garden, i’ve been harvesting all the green tomatoes to make ‘green tomato mince’ for pies, and a ‘green tomato cake’. we’ve also branched out into making our own granola. super yum!
and yesterday marked the ‘put up the halloween deocrations’ day! i will take a few snaps of the spoooooooky lights soon, and post the other misc pictures i have, i promise!
in other news, we, and the pugs, are eagerly anticipating the arrival of my fam for a visit in 2 weeks, followed by our visit to california!
[edit] the homemade dishwasher soap is made out of equal parts borax and baking soda. use 2 tablespoons per load, and add vinegar as your rinse agent, to rinse away the soap and it helps to get rid of spots, too. 🙂 i used it the other day and it works!
