My Pyrex collection recently had a growth spurt for a particular color and patterns. 

Santa Banchi 

Todi and Banchi

Finally got to try a needham, a chocolate from Maine that has a special ingredient- potato! 😀

Love these two dogs. 

Banchi 

I put my awesome pumpkin outside that I carved last night. Hoping the squirrels don't mess with it. 

Banchi refuses to work today unless you count napping as work.  

Banchi loves his Halloween bear 

I made broccoli slaw last night. I used crasins and thought it came out good. I usually buy it made but wanted to try making it at home. 

 I found the recipe here http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-light-easy-broccoli-salad-83866

I got to visit the Common Ground Fair this year. I love checking out the crafts and trying different food. Also I found the animals so adorable. 

Pumpkin cheesecake 

Recently I went to Dew Haven in Mt Vernon, ME. I loved seeing the animals and watching my niece react to seeing the animals. 

I made a mess in the kitchen last night. But I did end up with a few jars of pickles made with zucchini. 

Soaking for two hours in cold salt water. 

I like how the color changes with boiling it in spices. 

It's Fall beautiful Fall. 

We are both wondering when it will be Fall. It's still hot out. 

Love this kid. 

I was so excited to get a child potato basket today. 

My potato basket with the child potato basket I bought today. Check out the size difference! 

I turn around while working and this is what I see.

I love this kid. She's like a miniature version of my sister. :)

I made salsa today. I didn't follow a recipe though I probably should have. Think I went too heavy on the cilantro but overall I thought it tasted good. 

This dog drives me a little crazy but I love him. 

Saratoga Springs

I visited Saratoga Springs, NY recently. It was a nice city to visit. Plenty to see and do.
