manic tuesday
I’m feeling rather…jazzed today. It’s kind of odd because it’s all grey and rainy today. But I think the gloomy weather reset something internally for me. It’s been sunny and nice pretty much every day for the last two weeks and that’s just not how we do it in Pittsburgh. Dashing through the rain from the bus stop, I thought, “Ahhh, yes. This feels right.”
I’m probably just excited about being off Thursday and Friday. Thursday my office is closed for G20 shizz and Friday I’m taking off because I imagine my commute will still be hellish. Plus, the baby has off of school and it’s the husband’s birthday. Getting to spend two days in a row at home with those dudes makes me happy, apparently. Ew.
The rain also gives that first real kiss of autumn. I’m so ready for that season to really get here. I’m getting that baking urge hardcore. I have 10,000 recipes starred in Google Reader that I want to try. I was thinking this morning that I might do some hybrid of NaBloPoMo and Tuesdays with Dorie, where I make myself bake one or two things every weekend and share the results with you. I’m not trying to become a food blogger or anything but fall baking is the awesome and since I’ve been having trouble finding inspiration/energy to post here, the combination seems natural.

With all the rain we’ve had here in Atlanta, I was exceedingly glad to see the sun this afternoon. Though, if it weren’t for the flooding and the dangerousness of it all, I wouldn’t mind the rain. I also see it as Fall approaching… and Fall=football=chili-cooking-time. YUM.

Thank you for making me feel less weird about liking the dreary weather today.
I’m looking forward to baking some mutha-fuckin’ PUMPKIN SCONES, but I absolutely cannot bake them unless the temperature is below 65. It’s the law.

If you need anyone to taste test some of this glorious fall cooking, I might be willing to volunteer my services.
