Fancy s'mores

What does one do if one finds graham crackers made by such an esteemed bakery as Tulie? Well, fancy s'mores, of course! (All Andrew's idea)

Lovely weather

There was a certain nip to the air this morning--autumn is here! Andrew and I are going to head up the canyon to look at some fall leaves today, I haven't had the chance yet and don't want to miss them!

I was at the USEE conference this weekend and feel really fired up about my work and the contributions this form of education provides to kids. I went birding on one of the field trips and saw about 15 species, some really gorgeous birds, including two Sandhill cranes who were trumpeting while in flight.

We're getting breakfast at Finn's, as usual for a Sunday, and I'm ready for a great day!

Relaxing at home

I felt so productive today! Went to work this morning and did three back to back programs, booked a couple field trips and then left early to get my car looked at. Andrew and I got lunch at Cafe Rio, because I was craving Mexican and currently have an addiction to their pork barbacoa. Then we got the battery replaced in my car, took care of stuff at the bank and then came back home. Did some vacuuming, took a nice long shower (I LOVE Lush lotions) and sang with Andrew for a bit.

Andrew made an incredible dinner tonight as well--bone-in chicken, udon noodles with butter and brown sugar, and peas and pancetta. Totally blew my mind!

Sue and Will came to visit this weekend, it was so great seeing then. We went to dinner Friday night at a new favorite--Frida's Bistro. I think it was described as fusion Mexican cuisine, but whatever it was it was incredible. I had buffalo short ribs with some crazy potatoes and an incredibly vibrant pepper and kale salad. Everything was spot on, complex flavors, excellent and creative ingredients, gorgeous plating. They also have creepy baby dolls hanging from the ceiling...what's not to love?

We had a great visit to the Apple store, wonderful conversation and a lovely breakfast at Finn's Sunday morning. Really great weekend, even though mine was a bit short :)
