That Was The Weekend That Was
Friday, October 3rd
It was so hot in the office, I had to have the fan on. In October? After work, we went out for a fish fry to Sheridan VFW Post. Their fish and shrimp platter is huge. SNI had a rabies clinic earlier this week. It was run by folks I work with. We brought in Gandalf for her shots, apparently not everybody can catch a LoTR reference. :)
Saturday, October 4th
The usual morning errands, including stopping at virtually every farmer's market and produce stand in Fredonia, Dunkirk and Sheridan. I can't believe some people expect they can get $20 for a pumpkin. The Hollow in Sheridan opened up today, no hay rides yet, but I picked
up a 'defective' pumpkin twice the size of my head for $.50 Mmmmm, pumpkin pie. With a pantry, fridge and freezer now full of fall produce, I went skimming through the Redwall Cookbook for inspiration. I like the cookbook so much, that I want to reproduce EVERY recipe in the book! Sort of a Julie & Julia thing, except the file dates prove I started first! :)

Sunday, October 5th
UU Services with choir and potluck. Being organized little beasties, we made our potluck dishes last night. Since Karen doesn't like green beans and we had a small stockpile from Farm to Table, I made a four-bean salad. Karen made a Vegetarian Chili. The potluck,
being UU, was almost entirely vegetarian. Thinking back, with the exception of fish fries, I haven't had meat in must be nearly two weeks. Multiple lines of the Honey Dew list got crossed off. It gives me a feeling of accomplishment when I can cross an item off. Friday was so hot, I needed a fan. This evening was so cold, we needed to unpack the winter quilts.
There was a comic-con this weekend in Buffalo, being run by an old friend of mine Emil Novak. He even got his picture in the paper. I would like to have gone to see it. There was an article in the paper about it. They interviewed a former comic collector turned new dealer. It seems he had 15,000 comics in his basement and had to quit when his weekly purchases exceeded $50 a week. Good thing *I* don't know anybody like that. Nope, no one like that around here! :)
