Thanks Sondi for the great idea and title of this entry! Unfortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Ray (our dining reservation name) have been under the weather for the last few weeks. Alex had a bad cold and I had a terrible bladder infection leaving us both with no good stories to share. On the flip side, our austerity plan has been going quite well. We have spent most of our weekends in and I have gotten the opportunity to cook lots of dinners for Alex. He continues to say "everything you make is great" but I'm not certain that's the truth. I mean lets face it- the other day, I made blueberry pancakes and I burned most of them. (That damn cast iron pan Lucy got me gets me every time!!!! Although I love it and will continue to endure a smoke filled apartment every time I use it.)
Anyway, he ate every last bite of them....which as a cook is always nice to see. We always have Darcy to clean up the scraps too.
The next few weeks are going to be very adventurous...We have lots to do and several different outings with our friends and family. Our tentative Thanksgiving plans include me visiting the Maryland compound to finally meet The Fun Bunch. I'm super excited and hoping that Alex's mom will teach me to make one of her famous pies. Baking is a big weak point for me and Alex constantly talks about those pies. Til next time. xoxoxoxo

I might buy you another cast iron skillet, maybe a different shape...cause the idea of you burning food and filling the apartment with smoke is kinda funny. Must be the big sister in me....Nah, I will just buy you some Vera.
