I'm having apple cake for breakfast in ttt's honor.
Just so you don't feel too sorry for me, we did make our way to an orchard and come home with all the apple things, including CIDER DONUTS. Which are all gone now
I will celebrate your donuts with black bottom cupcakes tomorrow because I may or may not know the baking schedule at the cafe by work.
we went to the one in saugerties a couple of weeks ago. it was glorious.
Was there ice cream? I kinda like it. But I also like garlic and jalapeno jelly belly's. My taste is questionable in many areas.
there was but we didn't get it. i'm not much of a fan. they had garlic cookies and garlic pie, neither of which i ate. i had yum-o garlic buffalo wings. and funnel cake, sans garlic.
i did load up on 3 lbs of my favorite garlic from my favorite garlic farm so i'm set.
i'm sorry, garlic and jalapeno jelly bellys? these exist??

apple cider from an orchard is the tits. i can't drink supermarket cider anymore.

I've never seen them outside of the Jelly Belly factory, but yes they exist. Those two with buttered toast (also a flavor!) makes a lovely imitation of spicy garlic bread that you can wash down with the draft beer jelly bean.
The beer one incidentally tastes JUST LIKE the jelly I made from Sam Adams.
H and I have tossed around the idea of heading down to Texas after Christmas. Like the 26th or 27th. Don't tell my ILs.
I'm debating on the cost of flying or driving. Would you drive 20 hours in a car with 2 kids aged 4 and 1? Or drop $1500 in airfare?
We would definitely drive. We almost drove 24 hours to Cleveland, but Frontier had a sale and we were able to get 3 RT tix for $380, which is crazy cheap. We'll drive 14 hours at Xmas.
Our plan is to leave in the middle of the night, like midnight or 1 am. The kids will sleep until 7 or so, which is a nice chunk of hours without having to deal with them. Stop for breakfast, and then hook Ben up with his iPad or DVD player. The baby will probably get bored, but she'll eventually go to sleep. For the 24 hour drive, we planned to check into a hotel around 3 or 4, eat and sleep, and get back out on the road at midnight again. We'll just drive through at Xmas though. Bring lots of snacks, movies, games, audio books, etc.
It's raining for the second time this week here! I saw someone's sprinklers on and thought to myself that all the people who forgot to turn off their timers in CA are probably negating any of the rain fall.
My BFF went all out this year and made me a cake instead of cupcakes. Cream cheese frosting and pumpkin cake!
Recipe? For the cornbread casserole, not the tear booger.
We just moved into our new house on Saturday and we've already met a bunch of neighbors. Apparently every year there's a block party, egg hunt, and clambake...and there's ongoing photography club, book clubs, and poker club. I'm digging the clichéd suburban shit as well.
Dude, is there a way to search Yelp or something for this? You dunno how much I'd sacrifice in a house for some true blue community.
Come live in my town! We are kinda community crazy.
Also: no apples! I mean come on, you'd think an Apple Festival would have all kinds of apple products. Couldn't find any, except for one stand selling apple dumplings for $5 each.
WTF? If our garlic festival can deliver garlic ice cream (in addition to garlic ALL THE THINGS) you should minimally be able to score an apple pie at an Apple Festival.
There's a garlic festival here too! And the best part is that to decorate, they have GIANT bulbs of garlic out. Which end up looking like GIANT NUTSACKS if they are paired together.

My boss bought us mini bundt cakes to celebrate completion of testing. Pumpkin with cream cheese frosting is apparently my lunch. It's deliciousness is making up for the crappiness of the coffee.
I was at a meeting and someone asked what would happen, if we would not have school should we have an ebola outbreak. Yes, my face is no good at hiding side-eye.
My high school just completed a search and hiring process for its 24th president. The 23rd president was the first lay president - the first 22 were all nuns (my school was founded by an order of nuns). The person they hired is male. I'm a little bummed about it, which might make me sexist.
(And yes, there are a few male teachers, and the elementary school is co-ed.)
I would like to wake up and have a do-over. It's not been great thus far.
Same here.
I haven't talked to anyone about this, but DH and I are basically at each other's throats at least a couple times a week lately. It's not good and I'm basically clawing my way through the last few weeks of school in hopes that things improve after graduation.
