Moot Thoughts & Musings

The weather system named Ernesto has brought us cloudy skies, rain, and chilly temps this weekend. It's been fun to wear jeans and sip hot chai.

Due to crispness in the air, I've been compelled to keep cozy smells coming from my oven and to curl up in chair with a piece of fabric creating sweet little designs for my niece to wear.

On Friday evening, we had a couple of friends over. I made what is my new fall favorite recipe: Butternut Squash and Mushroom Lasagna. It was really simple and absolutely delicious. It felt very fall-ish to be cooking with butternut squash. For dessert, we had homemade, aromatic peach pie which simmered in the oven while we ate.

I've also been crafting up a storm. Not quite to postable results. There's a baby shower for my sister and her baby on Monday at our cousin's house in Lancaster. I'm super excited about what I've been able to do so far. But i'm not counting my chickens yet, until I see the final results, which will be on Monday, since I need to use my mom's sewing machine for the final step.

UPDATE: Sorry. I didn't realize this original post was up four times. I had kept getting an error message when I first tried to post, and so what do you when get an error message? retry! again and again. Well, eventually all the retries went through. It was not a rhetorical device by which I intended to place emphasis by means of repetition. Though the butternut squash lasagna bears emphasizing. Try it!!
