Today I Would Enjoy...

1. This tray, in all its preppy, dorky, holiness. Obvi with a giant "H" in the middle.

2. A wedding dress that looks something like this:

3. These scrumptious shorts...ok, and maybe the shoes, too.

.

I guess I could settle on being this girl for the day.

4. Meat-stuffed eggplant with tomatoes.

5. Eternal Spring!

Yum to the Yum.

My So-Called Life.

Today we had a pig roast at work. Well, kind of at work. At Vint Hill. Which is like some Top Secret, out-in-the-boonies, random STG place where they store tanks and guns and shit.

Why a pig roast you might ask? Obviously, we cannot do anything at this company unless it revolves around some sort of massive food intake/dead animal ritual/obnoxious display of excess.

The only thing weirder than a roasting rump in Fall was the 12 year-old Hispanic priest that came with the CEO's family to say "grace" for everyone...except he speak-a-no-english and someone had to translate for him...except he was talking really fast and she couldn't listen and interpret at the same time...and it was aaaaawwwkkkkwaaarddd to say the least.

So, we did what we do best.

We feasted.

On this:

Ain't got nothin' on my mama's recipe...

Enjoy!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

I'm getting so freaking pumped about this weekend's festivities--my favorite fall event--the Montpelier Hunt Races!

.

.

Every year, my family gathers in Orange, Virginia, to celebrate the season, sell some cigars, and gorge on all my mom's delicious food and drink concoctions. Whether it's overdosing on sausage balls, drinking our weight in Bloody Marys, or slathering ourselves with homemade pesto, it's always a guaranteed great time.

Plus, the weather is supposed to be gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous this weekend! Hooray! Check out some pics from previous successes...

Mom and Dad in all their glory.

The spread.

My parents will also be bringing their demon children (aka. the infamous Jack Russells, Harper and Dill) to defend their titles in the Jack Russell Races (and to annoy the rest of us throughout the day).

Don't be fooled by their cuteness--the devil lurks within.

So, in honor of this year's races, I'm going to attempt to make caramel apples sprinkled with nuts, Butterfinger bits, and Heath bar crumblings. Never done it before, but I feel like you can't go wrong with warm, melted candy and chunks of chocolate. Mmmm mouthwatering deliciousness.

.

Now if only I could craft the perfect fall outfit...damn you Frye boots! Throw a girl a bone and mark 'em down half off! Or 75% off! Gahh....headed to Goodwill tonight instead to hunt for hidden granny sweater treasures.

Fingers crossed...
