October 2011

October was wonderfully more fall than last month, and I gobbled it up as much as possible.  I truly think fall makes me a happier person, or more alive, or something else along those lines.  Despite the sweater weather, though not too cold, Jason and I used our ice cream maker for the first time.  This wonderful gift from our friends, Alexson Jepsen (yes, that is two people), was put to great use in October.  Here I am with the machine and recipe I used...Rocky Road Ice Cream.


 Here's the completed product.  A deliciously cocoa ice cream with marshmallows and toasted pecans folded in after.  Excuse my unpleasantly shiny face... I just had to show the ice cream.


Also this month, I ran a 15k, with my friend Tawnya again.  I was pretty happy overall with my time, and the weather turned out beautiful.  There weren't nearly as many runners as my last race, which was nice, and they fed us a ton of food!



Yes, now you can all go calculate my mile average.  Don't judge.

I couldn't help but take some pictures of the pretty colors.  Boy, do I love seasons.




Do you think this sign is funny?  Does it make you want to complete the phrase?


We sure thought it was great!


Dave's hot and juicy...french fries! Chicken nuggets!  Drive-thru attendant!  You get the idea...
