I flew back from Vegas just in time to get in some quality birthday celebrating time with C. We started out with an epic muffaletta sandwich at Mandola's Italian market....mmmmm.....so good. We then went to a cooking class at Whole Foods where we festively focused on pumpkin and squash. We made a pumpkin soup and squash filled crepes with an awesome pumpkin and shallot sauce (our favorite dish of the class.) There was also a squash and hazelnut salad which we've since made and enjoyed as well as a pumpkin cake which was pretty tasty as well. Being the foodies we are it was super fun to take a class together. As we sat down with the rest of the group to taste our creations I was unsure about the dinner conversation with the strangers. However, when one lady posed the question "so who's everyone's favorite food network chef?" I knew everything was going to be great. We rounded out the day browsing through REI. Such a good day.
On Sunday we celebrated C and Halloween with our wonderful friends the Wildes, Danny, the Eskanders and the Beauregards. Good food+great friends+some rock back= a great 29th birthday. Thanks guys!
