Photos of October snow

While Sadie's posting the details of our fine adventure without power, I thought I might share some photos of what 12" of snow in October looks like.

H2Jo Monday

October 31, 2011 by Sadie in Sadie & Greg

Without power, heat, or water, I wasn't able to have my customary morning latte. Fortunately, Ms. Carly Bruder got us an H2Jo for our wedding. We also got to use our propane backpacking stove and kitchen equipment for the first time.

My first not terrible apple pie

October 11, 2011 by Sadie in Sadie & Greg

I made my first successful apple pie yesterday, which was just as good for breakfast this morning:

Work is going really well. I launched a few big surveys last week, and am enjoying the small lull in furious calls, emails, and editing that precede emailing thousands of people all at once. 

I want to give a shout out to a phenomenal reader from back in the adamandjamie days. She is my heroine for following the radical intellectual dream and is still rocking the face off critical studies at Berkeley. Way to be, Jacqui. 

Stinkin' Birthday

October 02, 2011 by Sadie in Sadie & Greg

Greg and I went to the (Stinkin') Quabbin Garlic and Arts Festival and ate out at a fancy farm to table joint for his birthday. The Garlic Festival was just like festivals in Eugene (great food, local crafts, and torrential rain), but it was fun to see the silk rope trapeze act billowed by the wind. At Tabella's, our waitress switched Greg's order and atoned by giving us an evening of free wine, for which we are still nursing hangovers. It was pretty great. Getting excited about this season's apples and pears- I made my first apple pie last week and am going to can brandied pears this afternoon.  

Update:brandied pears (and brandied pear cake) a success.
