October 29th

Our first storm of the season started like this...

...and ended like this...

The next morning the sun returned.

Butternut gnocchi with butter/sage sauce and potato leek soup

Sweet Potato Latkes

Side dish for tonight's dinner.

Rainbow Quilt

I decided to reduce my fabric stash and actually start using what I have.  A few days later I received a flyer from JoAnn Fabrics and the sales were too good to pass up, so I replenished not only what I used, but even more.

Apple Crisp

The Best Model

It was such a beautiful fall day that I decided to take Gus to a state park for a walk and to snap some pictures.  He'll do anything for a cookie!

On the way home I stopped at a local vegetable stand and took this picture.

Red Velvet Cake

For my mother's birthday I baked a Red Velvet Cake.  I have been wanting to try this recipe and it was definitely worth it.  Last time I baked this cake using a different recipe and it was too dry.  This one was perfect. I opted for seasonal appropriate decorations.

I wonder if I can get a piece of cake too!
