artistic endeavors: tolkien.

This was September 24.
Hey, at least we're getting closer to November!
:)
Oh wait. Let's back up one day, just for this one picture......

Hmmm. I could leave this post just on that note, but gosh lemon-poppyseed bread sounds amazing right now.
Sheesh.
Also: an americano with just a tad of half-&-half.
Why do I do this to myself? :)
Okay. On to the real stuff.

Squash: waiting to be baked for dinner. Peanut is my favorite of all time.

Hot. Just brewed. Dark roast.

............ :)

Mmmm. So fresh.

Bread, mayo (a tad bit; i don't like it that much) spinach, cheddar cheese, tomato from the garden (the best!) and bacon...

Oops, sorry. Lunch that day was so good I couldn't help but click for these to upload as well as the rest! ;) 

Ah yes.  

Looks like the house is quiet. I swear it was naptime when I took these. :)

Italian, Indian, not much Mexican food.......

Clean oven top....oh look at the time....

Crazy girl, Rachel is. I know, I know. I've heard of chocolate and bacon before this, but still.....ew...weird. And yes. I tried a tiny bite. Not my favorite thing ever. 

Mmmm cold coffee left from the morning brew...

Yes, it was a Friday.

Kitchen duty...  

Remember those days??? Now all the trees are barren. Sigh.

Aaaand here it is. :)
It's just too bad I don't have as many pictures as I normally do of the process....but this one is pretty simple.
It was on a whim, really.
In other news, Nathan's coming back from graduating tech school; (yay for a 15 hour drive, hah) it's kind of a weird concept to see a person one month out of 12. Talk about funky. But congrats/kudos to him, because he's doing something very technical and I've heard tech school can be very boring.  
Oh, and another thing--it's snowing!
The first snow of this winter. Sigh. Now there's no going back.
Happy Tuesday, dears:)
