november | remember

november

know that feeling
where you have to much to do
the to-do list is long,
you’re not crossing things out,
instead you keep adding
and what you end up doing is
taking a 3 hour nap?

felt … the crunch of leaves underfoot. autumn is on her way out, leaving behind a fading trail of yellows, reds and oranges
smelled … paint. we’re working on a craft project that i am excited to share with you, eventually
touched … yarn. i’ve been busy busy crocheting my fingers off
heard … a reading. do not go gentle into that good night!
saw … an overturned vehicle on the way to work this week. be careful out there people, get there in one piece, the turkey will hold till you arrive

wedding cake - NC

a few pinterest & internet discoveries:
|| organization is not my forte but if i could just get my shit together, i’d make this
|| you guys. tutu + sweater tights? mind exploded
|| this pumpkin soup + coconut panna cotta: yes please
|| this rosemary laced buttercream piques my interest
|| i am so in love with this vintage campaign desk
|| my high school, in thailand, aerial view
|| last, if you’re not already tired of hearing about our wedding, our photographer posted a few more pix

wedding cake - KY

photo captions:
on a very quick trip to NC to visit the bff and this guy, she made a tiny replica of our wedding cake, this time sans the dairy doom. it’s now safe in our freezer
then a few weeks later we visited with dw’s family in Louisville and i made the same cake for the family gathering, this is the recipe that i always use for for sure results. picture taken by my brother in law Jonas Wilson, used with permission, but with my edit
finally, pulled pork tacos. so good. recipe: 2 lb pork shoulder + 1 bottle ginger ale + salt & pepper + 1 onion sliced + a few cloves of garlic in crockpot for 12 hours on low = sweet tender pork. thanks erin w.

  1. “that feeling where you have to much to do the to-do list is long, you’re not crossing things out,instead you keep adding and what you end up doing is taking a 3 hour nap?”

    Did you put a nanny cam in my house or something? Because this is exactly what’s been going on around here.

    I do feel a little better knowing I’m not the only one.

  2. You would rock that tutu combo. I also love those photo hangers! I have made vegetarian panna cotta with great success, even though I was unsure at first… I hope you try it — that coconut version sounds delish. And I want that pulled pork! Ginger ale appeals to me much more than the coca cola version…..
    🙂

    1. it’s always been hit or miss for me with panna cotta, and dw doesn’t really like it (i think it’s the texture thing, which is weird cus he likes tripe…) and i cannot be the only one eating the stuff!
