Fall

OK avid football fans, I have a confession to make that you may not want to hear see.  (Here's your chance to turn away)...

(Sigh)
I have not been able to get into the football spirit this year. 
Normally I look forward to making my "Alabama Stadium" Dogs and "Buffalo Chicken" Dip, sporting a crimson t-shirt, and crowding in front of the TV with friends.  But not this year.  At least no one can call me a "fair-weather-fan" since Alabama has been holding their own this year.

And, since I live in Alabama and am SURROUNDED by football, football, and more football, I have felt pretty uninspired by Fall...and uninspired to blog. 

BUT, I am starting to look for signs of Fall in other places/things.  Pumpkin has been one of those things.  I can't seem to get enough pumpkin bread!  I was even going to make a loaf until I realized I would spend more making it than buying it made (thank you Cafe Iz).  I mean, who doesn't have eggs, milk, flour, and cinnamon in their house?  I really need to start cooking more...

I also carved pumpkins with Lauren, Chelsey, Martha, Jeremy, and Martha's friend Caroline.  Mine is special.  It was free-handed though, so give it a little love.

I also found a little more "Fall" at Sips n Strokes with my coworker/friend Alex.  She had 2 free classes and asked me to join her.  And, lucky for me, she picked this fun Autumn Tree painting.  LOVE.

But don't worry, I did manage to get into the LSU/UA game.  Sadly, it was the one game I wish I hadn't watched...I guess you can't win them all.
