As you can see, I was out of town again (!!) so ate out way too much. The truffled mac & cheese from Fly Bar, the Penne pumpkin seed pesto pasta concoction from Ethos and the conch fritters are all tied for first as my favorites. I didn't share what J. ate, because from the looks of the kitchen it was mostly cereal. :/
Last night I started feeling inspired by my
Vegetarian Times magazine. This season I vow to conquer both soups and pumpkins -- two things I have never particularly cared for but would like to. Do you have any goals for the autumn season? It's not my favorite time of year but I'm going to make the most of it! I even bought owl-themed kitchenware to bust out in a few weeks.

Whoa, lot's of eating out. The freeze-dried Mountain House meals are, hands-down, the best thing to get for backpacking or for camping while traveling. They are easy -- you always add 2C of boiling water, and it's ready within 10-minutes. Plus, they taste great! Our friend, R., treated us to some great restaurants while we stayed with him in San Francisco (or as I affectionately like to call it, Frisco). You can check the previous week's Weekly Yums for updated meals/our restaurant outings!
