Day Tripping in NYC
First real day trip to New York. Rather spontaneous but MA and I took the train to Penn Station and then hopped the subway downtown. We didn’t have an agenda and just went with the flow. Here are a couple pics. More on my Facebook page.
I also started a Things To See and Do List
Townsfolk vs Spooks
I’m sorry to say this will be the last game day with the guys for a long time and can’t remember what we played or how to describe the game. Regardless of the details being back with the guys was a blast. Playing the game is only half the fun because everyone brings something unique and fun which guarantees no two games are ever the same. Until I game (with the guys)… caio
Christmas Goodies December 08
Cooking time has been rather elusive lately. Probably because I’ve only been unpacking the kitchen one utensil at a time as it is needed. By now I have enough items unpacked to actually make something useful. I tried two new recipes below.
Walnut and Brown-sugar Rugelach
The dessert turned out well, it is a tasty little finger food that would be good for parties. A couple notes to self, don’t skimp on the brown sugar and don’t bake in on the wax paper *doh*
Hot Chocolate Cake
I can’t find a link for the recipe but there isn’t much to report. It didn’t turn out well. The batter was hard to make and I baked it in a container that was too big so I couldn’t layer the hot chocolate mix properly. Even if the container it was the right size the idea of packing hot chocolate into a cake doesn’t turn out well. If the cake could be more moist or creamy then the hot chocolate mix would be scrumptious.
Leaves hanging on for dear life
The tree leaves are hanging on for dear life. Fortunately I was able to spend some time in the woods and enjoy their waning beauty.
